Two new prints by artist Kurt Tong, now available on 20x200.com, initially deceive the eye, but a second look reveals that this bag and accessories are made of paper! Here’s an excerpt from the artist’s statement:
In the last 50 years, more and more elaborate items have been made out of paper as offerings for the dead. Cars, servants and houses were common sights at funerals. As consumer culture takes over in China, Joss products have become more and more outrageous. While this practice is officially banned in China, it has always been tolerated.
