TAIEN NG-CHAN

(from “the intricacies of plaster”)
“the goop heats up as it thickens in your hands.
it took us all day to get it right, and all the heads we made that day were uneven in spots, fragile enough to break when we opened the molds, too thick on one side and big holes on the other. but by the end of the day our hands began to understand.”
