Notes
Chang converted her plastic Nongfu Springs water bottles – ubiquitous in China – and the other materials she had used to construct makeshift urination devices into a series of hand-blown glass sculptures. She chose to use borosilicate for the 2016 Glass Urinary Device series because it can be made to convincingly resemble the original humble plastic; the resulting forms are at once absurd and rather beautiful.
