Fish Tale Tally
Michelle Chang Qin

Drawing on the material and gestural vocabularies of an assembly line, she proposes sculptural instruments of pauses and repetitions. Threads can be woven densely or sparsely to create fabrics of caring, ornament, filtration, or trapping and disguise. Sourced from makeshift spaces of temporary facilities and interim structures commonly used in sites of production, her work imagines perpetual in-betweenness and fluidity that echo the unfinished thoughts and wandering avatars of a person engaged in monotonous tasks.
