Migrating and Transplanting
Migrating and transplanting have generated a sense of displacement and a constant negotiation of Ho’s identity. She express and describe the collision of Eastern and Western cultures: new vs. old, technology vs. tradition, communication vs. language, esthetics vs. cultural identity and economy vs. power. Ho examines relationships between the language of symbols and the symbols of ornament inspired by Chinese porcelain export-wares. She use icons, signs and corporate logos to re-contextualize the intersecting cultures in the 21st century economic globalization. > Sin-Ying HoFind more info on their website here.
