Zhang_huan_seeds_small Almost like a personal diary entry, this piece is my correspondence with "Seeds". I visited the piece six different times, sitting in the middle of the gallery, observing the observers and the components of the piece itself. Huan has always intrigued me as both a performance artist and a visual artist. "Seeds" is made almost entirely of ash, and looks as painstaking as it sounds.
