Larger than Life presents a series of oversized prints based on oral histories the artist recorded from Chinese women who survived turbulent times in the US and China. They used their art to fight for freedom. Leo-Gwin uses these oral histories as a point of departure for her oversized prints, sculpture, animation, and recordings.

now you are there when this happened deals with the poetics and uncertainty of memory, which seems to stand still, until it is engaged; seems to occupy a continuum, but only fragments surface, while the rest remain gray. Sounds, colors—how are they recalled, reactivated, rebuilt, and reallocated? It asks, whose memory is it? Is the past yet to be made?
