This special edition of Collect Art is dedicated to the expansive, complex, and continually evolving field of Women Art. More than a theme, it is a space—one shaped by voices that have historically been overlooked, misrepresented, or confined, yet have persisted, transformed, and redefined the language of contemporary art.

Lewis’s work acts as a conduit between art and science. The supply of information from science fuels the production of visual material, which communicates the knowledge of a scientific endeavour. In short, Lewis’s work focuses on addressing complex thoughts, ideas, and facts in nature and science. Some explore those in which we seem to be overshadowed and overpowered by the vast distances, sizes, or quantities. Others investigate moments of extreme power, creation, and rebirt

Yvette Yujie Yang works primarily with lamp-worked borosilicate glass, cyanotype, and etching. She creates deliberate archives of ecological loss, fragile records designed to eventually fail. Glass embodies the temporal paradox at the heart of her practice. Once molten sand solidifies under flame, that transformation is permanent. It cannot return to its original state. This irreversibility mirrors the logic of modern development, where progress produces local order by displa
