Twenty-seven carvings by Huang Fu Shou show a surprising range of jade's colors: from emerald green to an almost pearlescent white. Fish springing from water, insects weightlessly clinging to blades of grass, and stone bending with litheness of fabric each push the boundaries of what is possible with the rigid medium.

Seventeen poetic sculptures by Wu Ching capture the majesty of gold, breathing form into questions on the nature of being. Ants duel with one another, gleaming plants take root from stone and butterflies spring forth from a facsimile of the artist’s head. With almost thirty-five years of experience as an artist, Wu Ching’s works find a perfect balance between the spiritual and material elements of his subjects.
