This mixed-media sculpture is a tribute to my Chinese heritage and the landscapes of New Mexico. The crane, a symbol of longevity and grace in Chinese culture, is crafted with a wooden neck, a red soup spoon for the crown, and a body formed from fragments of porcelain rice bowls, evoking the beauty of traditional Chinese ceramics. The legs, made of metal, stand atop a base resembling topographical lines, representing the expansive plains of New Mexico; where you’d never think to look for cranes.
