The three groups of sculptures presented in this exhibition were created during a residency at "Machang" in Jiading, Shanghai. Within this industrial environment dedicated to art production, my practice was shaped by a shared workspace where artistic creation and industrial manufacturing intersect.

My focus remains on the spatial transformations and aesthetic logic of embodied labor. I am drawn to the liminal states found in a factory: the storage of raw materials, the complex clutter of work breaks, and the sensory atmosphere of dust, smoke, and noise. In these works, the scorching, fluid state of liquid silicone solidifies into something pink and pliable—tied, twisted, and embedded within an industrial skeleton of plywood, scaffolding, aluminum bars, and concrete.

The exhibition title, "Hook and Eye of Collar," references the hidden fasteners used in women's undergarments. This tiny, intricate structure serves as a metaphor for the tension between the soft body and rigid objects. For this project, I collaborated with the workers at "Machang" to integrate the light-gauge steel and polycarbonate partitions they use to divide workflows. I was captivated by the utilitarian immediacy and raw texture of these provisional structures; while temporary in their original context, they serve as essential armatures in my work, anchoring the sculptures within the space. The final arrangement mimics the posture of raw materials being processed: suspended, spread out, stacked, or leaning. This intervention captures the dialogue between private bodily perception and the rigorous, systemic logic of the industrial environment.
