What I enjoy about Tsang’s work with porcelain, is the fragility of it compared with the repetitive patterns and simplistic use of monotone. They have an allure and intrigue that invites you closer, like leaves blowing gently on a tree. Tseng is primarily a site-specific artist, based in California who uses the porcelain in various shapes to create the installations.
What I found interesting was the simplicity of her work, but this approach has captivated my attention and made me want to have further involvement with porcelain. The over thinking that sometimes is involved with myself in creating, would adapt and lend itself to a streamline process involving shapes and patterns. The image below of the white oval pieces with the singular gold piece, has a nod to kintsugi without it being so and the overall image has a soothing and delicate effect.
The frayed and blue is individual pieces of carefully manipulated porcelain, which have been shaped to resemble strips of material, collected together, to form something which again looks tactile and more something that you would have as a rug.

Jon Barlow Hudson is an American sculptor who designed two large sculptures for the World Expo 88, held in Brisbane.
He works with a multitude of materials for his works including steel, stone, glass, copper, bronze, water and light.
His work 'Double Helix' is displayed outside the Diggs BioScience Building at Wright State University, Dayton, Ohio. It is made up of 38 stainless steel dodecahedra (a 10 sided prism) welded together in two independent strands.
It is large enough to walkthrough and is a figurative depiction of a Double Helix strand, related to genomics, it is the physical structure of DNA. In relation to the site, the sculpture correlates directly to BioScience.
Hudson's use of identical dodecahedrons creates a repetition of design as it curls along its plane. The stainless steel is polished in a circular manner which also lends to the stylised twist of a double helix.
The negative space between the helix provides an interval between the two strands and the tail ends supporting the weight of the work give balance to the large structure.
The scale of the work is 2.4m high and 2.4m wide and 7.5m in length.

Siavash "Siah" Armajani (b. 1939 Iran, d. 2020 USA)
Bridge Over Tree (in Brooklyn, NY) (1970). Timber and shingles. 27.3 metres long.

Siavash "Siah" Armajani is an Iranian-born American sculptor, he is well known for his outdoor sculptures.
His work 'Bridge Over Tree' was installed in Minneapolis in 1970 and not again until 2019 in New York. It is constructed of timber trusses and a shingled roof and has a set of stairs in the centre that crosses over the top of a small evergreen tree.
The sculpture was designed to force complete strangers to pass, interact, and cooperate with one another when passing the centre of the structure.
The stairs come to a point, with no landing and so this means that those climbing the stairs will need use of both their arms and legs to commandeer it.
The repetition of the cross barred trusses creates a look of uniformity and safety. The structure appears solidly built and provides safe passage.
The interruption of the point on the walkway creates an interval for the design, a pause in its continuation, and certainly a point of interest with the evergreen tree beneath it.
The site here is significant as the work was only ever once on display and at the time in 1970, it was not seen as a work of art.
This prominent location for Armajani in Brooklyn, NY means that the work will be passed through and appreciated by hundreds of thousands of people.
Its physical construction also mirrors some elements of the other bridges located in New York City and the work assimilates well into this environment.
