ReCheng Tsang, Tuck and Fold 1, 2020, Unfired clay, pigment, mica, acrylic wash and unfired porcelain on canvas with water color paper.
Tsang writes:
“In the tuck and fold series as exhibited here, I treat clay as if it were a piece of paper, by tearing, cutting, folding, and bending it. As always when working with this material, the physicality involved in the creation of the work - the intimate interaction of my hands and body with the clay - becomes a dialogue and at times an argument with the clay itself. The pieces in the series are devoid of color so the focus is on the folds and tears, the edges, and the subtle shifts in the surface texture of the unglazed white porcelain.”
