Yimou Huang’s practice-based PhD of Dundee university explores the divergent influences of Chinese Taoism and Western Eco-Feminist thought on contemporary global art. It centers on the material aspects of dynamic forces, such as gravity, wind, and erosion. Yimou is particularly interested in transformational processes and their relation to traditional Chinese views on matter (stone, clay, wood, etc.), the Taoist notion of emptiness and action-through- inaction, and Eco-Feminist approaches to process, duration, materiality and action. His research is a comparative study of the artist, which is also an art practice, based on Taoist philosophy and Western ecofeminists, aiming to explore the deep connection between humans and nature. Through sculpture, ceramics, and installation art, the work presents the Taoist concept of "emptiness" and the transformation of energy in nature. The work uses natural materials such as clay, plants, and stones to illustrate the invisible yet ever-present forces and changes in the natural world. The concept of "emptiness" emphasized in the work is not a void but a source from which all things are generated. By combining different natural environments and materials, the artist captures how natural forces interact with matter, documenting the traces and impacts of these forces.
