Artist Jade Ching-Yuk Ng on the impact of Russian mosaics, escapism, and character proximity.
Artist Jade Ching-Yuk Ng
Ep.42 | In this episode I met with London-based artist Jade who is in Hong Kong for her first solo show. Our conversation centred around her experience of being back in Hong Kong after 3 years, how her trip to Russia and the Eastern Bloc countries made a lasting impression on her work, we talked about what Jade meant by character proximity and ended our conversation with her current solo show GUSH.
