Let it Grow | Dublin Arts Council

“From pursuing my MFA to giving birth to Jeffrey, from the confusion of arriving in America to finding my direction now, and being surrounded by a lovely group of friends, every significant, struggling, emotional, and joyful moment is captured here in my works.”

Taking inspiration from motherhood, Chinese traditions, and nature, Weiting Wei creates sculptures from resin clay, reflecting her memories and emotional journey through life. In her exhibition titled “Let it Grow,” Wei’s abstract sculptures draw on the domestic processes of mothers and caregivers, nature’s growth, and personal transformation. Dynamic shapes and intricate details resemble the unique, complex experiences of women navigating their individual journeys of growth.

This exhibition showcases most of Wei’s major works from her time as an artist. The collection of art serves as a diary, representing the past 11 years she has spent in the United States.
