In the early 2010s, Wong began weaving together the disparate themes and strategies of her earlier practice. While her prior works sought ways to document trauma experienced by women and girls, here, she moves toward healing and repair. In Float , Recollection , and Biology of Thought , found materials are sewn together by hand to create diaphanous abstract sculptures. The resulting works are sometimes mounted to the wall and sometimes suspended from the ceiling. They have the look and feel of netting or cobwebs—delicate structures that connect, contain, and support. Though Wong’s materials are all inorganic, many are used to sustain life (such as oxygen tubing), or to hold the food that nourishes us (such as produce netting).
