About the Artwork:
“To love the ocean means to completely surrender to it. Whether that be letting its waves carry you smoothy across the open waters or letting it thrash you around during temperamental stages, you learn that you are never truly in control. Also, nose diving close to the shore hurts like a bitch.” – Sally Deng
About the Artist:
(Artist Bio)
Sally Deng grew up in a dual existence between living for months in China and traveling back to Los Angeles where her family owned a diner in downtown Los Angeles. This presence of opposites coming together is a recurring theme in Deng’s work, thoughtful environments in which she is able to harmonize between polarized elements.
Realizing that just about anything can be an art tool, she mixes various media including digital into dynamic collages. In early 2016 she completed her BFA from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. She lives and works in Los Angeles.
