About
What does it mean to know your place? Having grown up in a family with clearly defined gender and birth order roles, Sami Tsang utilizes the power of clay to push back against the foundational social systems that inform those positions and structures. Her paintings and sculptural forms become conductors for conversation, processing, and reflections that destabilize the roles within the complex, prescribed family hierarchy. The works unfurl narratives of personal trauma, and the painful negotiation of building new relationships.
