Bio
Based in Boston, US, Mary L. Peng is a self-taught multi-media artist, spanning collage, digital work, painting, mixed-media installation, and photography, whose oeuvre delves into the intricate links between the human body and psyche, reality, perception, and nature. Blending visual elements as organic living forms, Peng’s work oscillates between outright exploration of visceral aesthetics and the probing of philosophical concepts on constructionism and connectedness. Peng's prints are united by the motif of "merging", utilizing organic forms to create ethereality and an impression of oneness from chaos and manifest the mind-body-nature interconnection. Peng sets out to capture the contradiction and harmony of human existence by exploring the ever-evolving dynamic between material and transcendental realities.  
Featured by Adobe Photoshop and multiple international galleries, Peng’s Dimension Chi collage series is known for its whimsical exploration of retrofuturism and the boundary between reality, perception, and imagination that cross the many realms of possibility.  

Artist Statement

The Dimension Chi collage series is a visual commentary on the boundary between perception and reality. Does it exist? Maybe after all, “all that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream”.
