For the past years, Tiffany Dang is on the search for “Home”. Her works displayed the exploration of various ways people define home. Where is home? Is it far from where you are studying, working now? Is it a fixed space? Through her practices, ranging from photography, collage, printmaking, bookmaking, textile, survey and interactive installations, Tiffany presents a story of her findings about home
“I don’t think I have ever left my home. I carry it with me. Home is here.”

Fabric can convey such an immense of emotions. Taking the idea of homesickness and the need to carry something reminding of the hometown, ‘Intersection’ was created.
The design is an original worked inspired by traditional floor tiles and other Vietnamese culture: rice wheat and mythical bird.
‘Intersection‘ is a combination of the printmaking technique that the artist had learnt in Vancouver and the culture from her origins embedded from her upbringing.

Screen Print on Paper and Felt
Twelve symbols with twelve corresponding texts,
Flickering like an illustration book.
Some are clear as daylight,
Some are like burnt polaroids,
But they all share a similarity.
They are parts of what I was
They are parts of what I am
They are parts of what I will be
They are my home.

Pillow Playground, 2024
Communal Art Project, Mixed Media
We put up a public survey for Emily Carr students to contribute their definition of comfort and safeness. We randomly selected some notable and re-curated them into pillows. With the hope to extend the practice to larger audience, we gather the pillows with crafty art supply and set up an interactive installation. Come over to our small corner, have a seat and immerse yourselves in the pillow fort. Share your spontaneous doodles on the wall or on the paper and fabic scraps. Your fun rant can be featured in our next project!
