Narrative myths from Diem Chau art of sculpture and ceramic
A Vietnam native Diem Chau born in Saigon, Vietnam 1979. Chau and her family came to America as refugees in 1986.
Her work of art, which utilized material as small as toothpicks, papers and crayon sculptures to ceramic art, touches on the value of Storytelling, Myths and its ability to connect us to each other through cultural and humanistic similarities.
BFA graduate from Cornish College of the Arts, Chau has received an Artist Trust GAP Grant and a PONCHO Artist-in-Residence Award. Her work has been exhibited in New York, Miami, Seattle and Los Angeles.
Her first solo exhibition in 2004 entitled “Stirring Smoke” at Richard Hugo House, Seattle, WA. After that she has several other exhibitions and her latest solo in 2008 “In Effect” at OKOK Gallery, Seattle, WA.
Chau combines common mediums and common means to create delicate vignettes of fleeting memory, gesture and form, resulting in works that combine egalitarian sensibility and minimalist restraint.
Chau’s current work drifts into new territory by exploring the periphery of the narrative, moments forgotten and faded, or too brief to retain.
