In Feng’s work, textiles become medium, object, and metaphor, exploring how everyday items of comfort and utility evoke feelings of protection, emotion, and memory—similar to a building's facade or the human body. Like architecture, fabric carries a sense of weight and history, invoking the artist’s childhood surrounded by fabrics and textures, connecting her to her seamstress mother.

Feng's paintings are sculptural, capturing fleeting moments through a dynamic interplay of tension and release enforced by color and texture. Often depicted in motion or with energetic draping, highly rendered fabric becomes a frozen snapshot in time, embodying a fragile yet protective shield. In Feng's drawings, the human body transforms into an architectural space where form and dynamism are explored through sharp and fragmented brush strokes, further reinforcing the connection between physical and emotional states. With A Past of Plank and Nail, Feng offers an intimate exploration of the intersections between fabric, architecture, memory, and emotion.
