To print and publish soul reachers.
Linda Zeb Hang’s conte of scanning voices cross-sections the invisible density, flavor profiles, and omniscient presence of the woven, yet frayed environment. The fiber-optics of place, an artery area, a micro-climate theory, spacecraft language and calyxes of meditation make public their pocket cosmology.
Born in 1986 in the industrial port city of South-side Stockton CA to proletariat Hmong refugees, they are rooted from the aesthetic and civic praxis of Southeast Asian Animistic, Shaman and Buddhist life-world. They shape material behavior through technical experimentation, working spontaneously, collecting and generating information to arrive at a knotty mixed-media synthesis.
Flexibility, instinct and intuition are their chosen guides. Their tools are digital, machine age and ‘primitive.’
From 2004–2024 they lived in San Francisco CA, Oakland CA, Berkeley CA, off-the-grid Humboldt/Mendocino County Far Northern CA, Sierra Nevada CA, Apache Junction AZ and New York City — giving them a critical depth of field on contemporary Asian-American counterculture.
Founded in 2013, their mixed-media imprint FIST — with its production of abstract drawings, fine art prints, outlaw poetry, hypnagogic book design and hand-crafted publishing are held within collective and public spheres, including Queer Work Archive (RI); the Thomas J. Watson Library at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (NYC); Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Library, Smithsonian Institution (NYC); Letterform Archive (CA); The SFMOMA Library + Archives (CA); and Frans Masereel Centrum, Kasterlee (BE), among others.
LZH studied Sculpture, Typographic Design, Book Arts and Horticulture in San Francisco CA and currently lives and works in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
