Silas Ng is a multidisciplinary artist who explores identity, language and sound through images. His work involves photography and other mediums including drawing, painting and sculpture which he combines to capture his perspective of multiculturalism and communication as Deaf Chinese Canadian. He experiments with various mediums to recreate and reinterpret his life experiences and relationships with his many different cultures by transforming them into images and breaking the invisible boundary of language. Ng studied photography at Emily Carr University of Art and Design and is a recent MFA graduate from the School for the Contemporary Arts at Simon Fraser University. @silas5.ng
