"Apostrophe S is an art installation composed with ceramics, neon light, synthetic hair; it is a reflection of our current cultural climate and the duality of cultural identity in each person.

In response to the disruptions of this time, together with restricted access to her regular studio to create this work, Chun created this work in miniature in a model of the gallery space itself. She will present this model in addition to a full-scale installation. In doing so, she demonstrates resilience, innovation and ingenuity.

"I am the artifact of liminality from a post-British colonized city - Hong Kong. I see myself as having a dual cultural identity, and the feeling has grown stronger as I watch the events unfolding in my hometown: in a time of massive upheaval, I question how the region's cultural roots will be preserved or erased. As a Chinese immigrant to the US, I've immersed myself in this multicultural society and have newfound freedom in both my identity and my art. As a ceramic artist, I watch the medium of ceramics as it shifts between its identity as craft and art, and I explore the spaces in between. This is the realm where my art lives. I have the urge to express this unsettled, in-between feeling and provide this experience to others by making this installation." Ling Chun" (Promo Copy)
