Body Ajar
Z. Cecilia Lu
Collar Works, Troy, NY
April 19 - June 2, 2024

Body Ajar holds new sculpture and ceramics that explore the body as an assemblage of memories, environments, medicines, and desires; as contingent and dynamic; as a site for healing, regeneration, death, and decay. Traces of the body reverberate, meeting the echoes of other incantations — of ancient Chinese cooking vessels and cast jujube dates, cradled by clay and paper pulp, descendents of transformed earth. Body Ajar asks about possibility — and of what becomes through the cracks, holes, fissures, and pores.
