Echoes of universal themes are everywhere to
be found in Fay Ku's work on paper. Waterborne
nymphs, anthropomorphic creatures and a
menagerie of assorted fairy tale visions unfold
in narratives that abound with psychological
symbolism. Mythic musings from the benign to
the fantastical reveal themselves in work that is
as refined as it is anarchic and as sensitive as it
is disturbing. A native of Taiwan, the artist now
lives in Brooklyn, New York. She studied visual
arts and literature at Bennington College in
Bennington, Vermont before going on to earn an
MFA in studio art and art history at the Pratt
Institute in Brooklyn, New York.
