ABOUT THE SHOW

Inversion presents work developed during a shared residency at the Taoxichuan Art Center in Jingdezhen, China, the birthplace of porcelain. The exhibition reflects moments of looking again, reversing perspective, and allowing material and place to quietly reframe understanding. 

Jingdezhen’s long history of porcelain production is inseparable from labor, industry, and ecological cost. Working alongside local ceramic artists and laborers, we experienced making as a shared language shaped through repetition, observation, and care. 

We were drawn to the name Inversion not only for its meaning of reversal, but for the ceramic process itself. As clay becomes ceramic, it passes through quartz inversion, a permanent material shift. In the same way, this time in Jingdezhen changed how we see value, labor, and support systems, sometimes in ways that cannot be undone.

This exhibition is presented with gratitude to Taoxichuan Art Center and Eliza Au for their generosity, guidance, and support.
