Yutong Chloe Wu

Beyond Time

2021

Medium:

silkscreen printing, chine colle, beeswax, gold leaf

Dimension:

20x15 inch

In these silkscreen variants layered with chine collé, beeswax, and gold leaf, I explore the porous boundary between the instant and the infinite—between bodily presence and intangible time. Spinal CT scans of the artist's lower back bone symbiotic worlds pulsing beneath the surface of pain remind us that such suffering does not simply pass—it endures, often outlasting our lifetimes. Fungi, in the printings, live in quiet partnership with our bodies: growing with us, sleeping within us, and eventually returning us to the earth. Both pain and fungi become unwritten chronologies for us to feel the time. In contrast, our external world accelerates—AI and virtual environments promise transcendence, frictionless speed. But can disembodied intelligence truly understand time that swells with feeling, or stretches with suffering? This work is a meditation on what machines cannot yet map: the viscous, lived duration of embodiment. By slowing down to print, to gild, to embed pain in texture, I reclaim time as an emotional terrain—fluid, fractured, deeply human.

About the Artist

Yutong Chloe Wu

Yutong Chloe Wu is a multimedia artist and an art educator, devoted to being a collector of stories—those whispered through time, etched into our bodies, and carried in the spaces we inhabit. Born in China and now based in New York City, she creates multimedia works that bridge memory and possibility, inviting viewers to pause, reflect, and connect.

Chloe's current exploration centers on the spine—not just anatomically, but as a metaphor for bearing history, identity, and transformation. She uses printmaking as a mindful, tactile way to merge logic and emotion, reflecting on how vision, neurodiversity, and perfectionism shape the self. The work becomes both introspective and communal, a meditation on our shared fragility and strength. Through Chloe's art, she seeks those quiet, universal moments where the boundaries between self and other dissolve, leaving only the shared rhythm of being alive.
