Inferior Lights by So‐mui MA
Red Elation Gallery, a contemporary art gallery located in Wanchai, is currently displaying a group exhibition by Contemporary Ceramic Society Hong Kong. Clay Players, as the exhibition is called, focuses on the fourteen Hong Kong ceramic artists who brought their works together, including my mentor, Chris Lo.
When I Disappear Into You by Chris LO
Contemporary Ceramic Society Hong Kong usually conducts activities, education programmes, and exhibitions to promote contemporary ceramics in Hong Kong, and this exhibition is one of them. Obviously I love Chris' piece, When I Disappear Into You, and the shock factor it creates with mutilated dolls placed in clamps, but I am also intrigued by So‐mui Ma's Inferior Lights, where the modeling of traditional Chinese architecture allows me to travel back to the past. Florence Yim's piece, The Story of the Stone, on the other hand, reflects fossils, and it is interesting to see her concept of time behind the obvious.
