SARA TSE
Sara Tse (b. 1974, Hong Kong, China) is a ceramic artist living and working in Hong Kong. Her crafted work presents an examination of the fragility of things and everyday experiences with delicacy. Instead of giving the porcelain objects reverence traditionally, Tse tends to challenge conventional concepts through her sculptural gloves, socks, and sweaters. Her transformation of common objects into porcelain and clay often elicit unconscious memories from childhood to motherhood as well as the present to the future. Her recent works also concentrate on narratives of Chinese diaspora, disclosing a deeper autobiographical content.
Tse is Chairman of the Hong Kong Ceramics Association and was the award winner of the Hong Kong Art Biennial Exhibition in 2003. Her selected solo exhibitions include Re Visit (2018), Tai Kwun, Hong Kong, China; Clay Play II—Recent Series by Sara Tse __(2015), Viridian Gallery, Vancouver, Canada; and Sara Tse (2010), Chinese Arts Centre, Manchester, UK. Selected group exhibitions include Alchemist(s) (2020), Pearl Lam Galleries, Hong Kong, China; Trace in the Hidden Silence (2017), Boxes Art Space of OCT Harbour, Shenzhen, China; Walking in the Dreams (2015), Hong Kong Heritage Museum, Hong Kong, China; and The Fragmented Body (2011), Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA), Brisbane, Australia. Her work is in a number of museum institutions internationally, including the Queensland Art Gallery, Australia; Ceramic Art Foundation, Japan; and the Hong Kong Museum of Art, China.
