Tsong writes:
My practice as an artist/writer is an exploration of intimacy. How do "I" literally and metaphorically connect with "you"? How does this essential relationship connect me through time and physical space? How does this relationship change how we evolve as a collective? These interdisciplinary investigations through material, process, craft, language, and technology take the form of conceptual portraits, socially-engaged projects, writing, and radical bookmaking. They range in scale from small performances and objects to city-wide installation, cultural programming, and facilitated conversations.
