Catalogue Note

"According to tradition, ash is buried or put into the lake and ocean. Nowadays the ash must go into the rubbish so that it does not pollute the environment. The first day I got the ash in my studio I was very excited. I felt as if I has found the right material for me." - Zhang Huan
