Ceramics
Courtney Cho is a Chinese American artist creating coil-built vessels and sculptures, operating as artifacts as though they have lived past lives, waiting to be unburied, rediscovered and reinterpreted. Minimalist raw white porcelain sculptures sit alongside maximalist glazed forms. That balance of contradictions presents itself throughout Cho’s works. These works revisit vignettes from her childhood with confrontational thoughts of mortality to create ethereal pieces venturing into the absurd. Being raised as the eldest daughter of immigrants and as a first-generation Asian-American, Cho was expected to follow a traditional path. From a young age, she had to prioritize practicality over creativity. Cho started ceramics as a way to forge a new path, one that allows her to dive deep into her imagination and fully express her artistry. It’s as if Cho is making up for lost time, finally giving herself the ability to experience a world she couldn’t partake in before.
中国系アメリカ人のアーティスト。紐作りで器や彫刻を制作している。それらはまるで過去の人生を生き、埋葬されず、再び発見され、再解釈されるのを待っているかのようである。彼女の幼少時代のヴィネットを、死に対する対立的な思考とともに再訪し、不条理な世界に踏み込んだ幽玄な作品を創り出している。
