Body of Work features the latest studio output by Mississippi-based ceramics artist Allen Chen. Chen’s work follows multiple paths: organic shapes that are arranged to engage with each other and the space they occupy, discrete sculptures, and a variety of functional vessels. He describes a process of piecing together fragmentary experiences in order to comprehend the world as a whole. Chen further discusses ways that he was shaped by his environment, like the mollusks and DNA structures that he references in his installations and sculpture.
