ReCheng Tsang

Working primarily with porcelain, ReCheng Tsang creates site-specific installations and smaller sculptures. The work consists of up to several hundred sometimes thousands of thin porcelain pieces. Each piece is rolled, pinched, pulled, torn, or otherwise manipulated by hand, then composed within a pre-defined grid. She explores the intrinsic qualit... ies of porcelain, malleable and impressionistic, to create work that is tactile and sensual. She is also interested in the dichotomous relationship between the porcelains hardness and permanence, and the resulting work which appears to be delicate, ephemeral and in motion. She works monochromatically, often leaving the porcelain unglazed, to allow the attention to focus on the subtle shifts in form, color, and texture. In recent years, ReCheng Tsang has also worked with architects and interior designers to create innovative solutions, combining porcelain, brass and other materials for interior spaces. ReCheng welcomes collaborations and works with galleries, designers, and private clients on commissions and site specific projects. Her work is in private collections and she exhibits nationally. She received prestigious fellowship residencies at the MacDowell Colony and the European Ceramic Work Center. She lives and works in Berkeley, California.Read More
