STRUCTURES - 2022
STRUCTURES, presented at The City of Berkeley’s Cube Space Gallery, is a collaborative installation made with my friend and mentor, Cathy Lu. In its production, our intention was to explore various structures and systems that garner a feeling of holding and being held. Bags of ceramic fruits and photographs of hands printed on fabric hang off a bamboo composition inspired by the scaffolding used for construction in Hong Kong.
The ceramic forms are based on fruits sourced from local Chinese American produce markets, while the photographs are selections from my family archive. Together, the work focuses on fleeting relational moments between family members, and the objects and skills that are passed down through generations.
