“Eve and David”
2015, marble sculptures, hd video
“Eve and David” features two discarded marble statues from Quyang, China. Its history of stone carving has fueled its rise as the global center of garden sculpture industry. I carved the images of the workers directly onto the statues while preserving their former details: objects held in hands, vines, and tree stumps. The project explores the uncertainties under a globalized supply chain and its impact. It highlights the human stories behind this industry and the challenges of creating art.
