Collar Works is proud to present Body Ajar, an exhibition featuring new work by Z. Cecilia Lu.

 Body Ajar holds new sculpture and ceramics that explore the body as an assemblage of memories, environments, medicines, and desires; as contingent and dynamic; as a site for healing, regeneration, death, and decay. Traces of the body reverberate, meeting the echoes of other incantations — of ancient Chinese cooking vessels and cast jujube dates, cradled by clay and paper pulp, descendents of transformed earth. Body Ajar asks about possibility — and of what becomes through the cracks, holes, fissures, and pores.
