Sculpture: Homebodies: Recollective


On exhibit at the Modern Eden Gallery in San Francisco, California.

These ceramic sculptures draw inspiration from the toys and action figures of Ma’s childhood that helped him cope with social stress.  In creating these mobile forms in his series “Homebodies”, Calvin Ma wanted to express his love for action figures and their ability to captivate and innovate stories to comfort us. His ceramic and stoneware sculptures combine stationary architectural structures and roving vehicles with the human (and kitty) form in a mashup of irregularity and contradictions, but still retaining that facial hint of childlike inquisitiveness, ready to make up an entirely new adventure.
