In Between Spaces is an ambiguous animated landscape in which a strange form migrates throughout a disrupted and displaced image. It explores the idea of belonging – thinking about place and the placeless; about being, while simultaneously weaving in and out of this sense of being. It references and reflects on the artist’s own experience of being a person of Chinese heritage born and raised in Boorloo (Perth), reflecting on the constant shift of feeling both connected and disconnected to a specific community, constantly wary and unsure of her place.

Annie Huang is an artist based in Boorloo WA.  Her work often involves the amalgamation of various mediums such as animation, drawing, sculpture, and digital projections.  She is interested in both navigating and exploring her background as a second generation immigrate, thinking about the experience of being both ‘Chinese’ and ‘Australian’, but also what is means to be simultaneously neither.

Annie is currently completing her research-based Master of Fine Arts at the University of Western Australia, as a recipient of the RTP Stipend and Offset scholarship. Recently, her works have been exhibited in the Hatched, National Graduate Show at the Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts (PICA) as well as the City of Lights Festival for Perth Festival.
