CAMOC is pleased to present the upcoming Spotlight Artist, C. C. Ann Chen with UNGROUND.
In this installation, Chen’s work moves away from literal depictions of landscape. The work relies on abstract imagery that references natural environments, without representing specific objects like trees or mountains. The compositions are often drawn from memory, inspired by her reflections on remote places she has traveled to, particularly in the North Atlantic and Arctic regions.
