Biographical Statement

Tess Wei is a Philadelphia-based artist who is interested in lingering as an act of resistance in our fast, contemporary moment, and explores this through painting, photography, sculpture and video. In prioritizing the blurred and the out-of-focus, her work provides space for contemplation, (day)dreaming and rest. Her favorite movie is Harold and Maude.
