Sara Tse
Based in Hong Kong, Sara Tse uses diverse media – ranging from in situ installations, ceramic sculptures and archival materials to drawings and personal objects – to create an immersive environment. Addressing subject matters of nature, personal memories, natural history, cartography, domesticity, migration and displacement, her practice invites audiences to consider how seemingly disparate fragments of daily life can come together to form a repository for reflection, probing what it means to be native in our heart.
Tse’s works have been extensively exhibited in Hong Kong and internationally, and were widely collected by individuals and institutions. She has received numerous local and international awards, including the Fond des Artistes Grant from Alliance Française, Hong Kong (2006); the Hong Kong Art Biennial Exhibition award at the Hong Kong Museum of Art (2003); and the Ceramic Award from the Friends of the Pottery Workshop, Hong Kong, Hong Kong (1998). She has participated in artist-in-residence programmes in Japan, Canada, the United Kingdom, Vietnam and the Philippines. Currently, she is the Director of clayplay and Vice Chairperson of the Hong Kong Contemporary Ceramic Art Association.
