CALVIN MA | BLEND IN: BETWEEN THE LINES
Almost There, ceramic with glaze, 13 x 8 x 10 inches
Blend In: Between the Lines, Calvin Ma's third solo exhibition at Foster/White, continues his well-recognized Blend In series. His charming and expressive sculptures continue to captivate, inviting viewers into a deeply personal yet universally relatable narrative. With their contemplative gazes and intricate details, Ma's figures encourage reflection—on ourselves, our emotions, and the world we navigate.
Leave No Trace, ceramic with glaze, 17 x 24 x 8 inches
Blend In: Between the Lines is a continuation of my Blend In series, reflecting on experiences with social anxiety. This show focuses more on the feeling of being and not being somewhere at the same time. I encounter this often in social settings and it’s something I can’t quite overcome. Each piece in the exhibition touches on this theme in its own unique way. - Calvin Ma
