Yumang was named after his motherÕs beauty salon and from an earlier age has
been obsessed with beautiful, yet slightly off things. His work primarily
focuses on the concept of queer form through sculptural abstraction,
installation, and performance. He is also part of a collaborative performance trio, Tatlo, with Sara Jimenez and Michael Watson. |
