about this book
關於這本書
Works of Ivy Ma King Chu
‘She creates a kind of stillness.’ — Leung Po Shan
Hong Kong artist Ivy Ma King Chu has an aesthetic defined by quietness. Her works in drawings, paintings, photography, and installation share a care for humanity and nature, shown through details, lighting, scale, and texture.
This monograph chronicles Ma’s works over the course of a decade, tracing six themes recurrent in her practice: memory, solitude, nature and intimacy, still moving, and history. Cultural critics Leung Po Shan, Blues Wong, Matthew Cheng, Charles LaBelle, and Alison Rowley contribute essays; Jennifer Wong, Chen Fong Fong, Chan Ning, and Stella Tse respond to Ma’s work with poetry.
