Three Studies on Presence in Things, Jack Tan
Clay
I work with clay, video and writing. I am interested in the relationship between the content or meaning of something and its form. By triangulating three different mediums, I am looking for the presence or essence of an object inside its form. The work comes from my own sense of displacement and the mismatch between identity and culture.
