Melanie Lan

MFA, Burren College of Art

New Generation Gallery 2016

Taiwanese-American artist hailing from Seattle. I paint, draw, and talk to strangers. I use origami as a ritual to explore personal narratives, searching for what it means to find connection in a world that grows smaller yet more alienating by the minute. My work explores themes of immigration, displacement, and finding belonging. I’m inspired by folklore and mythology, travel and couch-surfing.
