Eden: Ceramics by Sin-ying Ho

September 8 – October 26, 2010 | Reception on Thursday, September 15, 2010, 5 – 8PM with Artist’s Talk from 6 – 7 PM

The development of technology and economic globalization in the 21st century brings people of many nationalities and cultures together. Expressing her own experience as a Chinese artist living in North America, ceramist Sin-ying Ho has painted hundreds of flowers, combined with digital transfer-printed images, on 5- to 6-foot-tall porcelain vessels, creating a garden of cultures that evokes identity and the collision of new global traditions. Born in Hong Kong, Sin-ying Ho is Assistant Professor of ceramics at Queens College. This exhibition is co-sponsored by the Queens College Art Department, PSC-CUNY Research Foundation, Queens Council on the Arts, and Coptor Productions. This exhibition is part of Queens College’s Year of China programming.
