Lucie Chan : Something to Carry
Ingrid Jenkner & James R. Shirley
Chan assembles multi-figure ink drawings on bond into composite, booth-like structures suspended from the ceiling. Spatially, her drawing installations evoke the elsewhere of diasporic yearning. Shirley's essay compares Chan's use of drawing with the work of Ed Pien and William Kentridge. With artist's biography and bibliographic references.
