◦ the egg rack catalogue, 2021
limited editions
the egg rack catalogue is a portfolio of ‘the egg rack made a disclaimer’, containing 12 real-size sketches of various sizes and two pieces of essays - a preface by liang-jung chen and a review by graham baldwin. the paper box itself serves as a paper egg rack of 6, as usual, each user will be held accountable for breaking the eggs.
sketching has always played an important role in chen’s creation process.
‘i see sketching as a series of dates with an idea before we enter a committed relationship. if i really like it after the first few dates and we get along, i will then bring the idea into real existence by making physical models.’ chen considers the sketching and hatching process very reflective. ‘the labour-intensive and time-consuming process allows time and space for second thoughts and refinement. a form of calibration and purification. i also enjoy playing in the ambiguous space between dimensions and perspectives. just a pencil and piece of paper.’
