Date: 5 Nov 2010 - 29 Jan 2011
The work of Korean-American artist Debbie Han is characterised by the dual forces of painstaking, diverse craftsmanship and artwork which demands attention, or causes shock. These tactics are combined to address questions of identity and larger social patterns, for central to Han’s work is an enduring interest in how human experience is shaped and conditioned by contemporary culture. In her practice, Han navigates the boundaries of photography and sculpture and has worked in materials as diverse as marble, celadon, inlaid lacquer and digitally manipulated photography.
