Until 10pm: From One Sky to Another
Renowned for her metal sculptures and mapping of celestial bodies, this series is Tan’s continuation of that exploration with new ideas of mapping (triangulation) and mythology. Deep within the pictorial landscape, hidden maps of constellations provide hints of a shifting landscape and story, carrying representations of places into a new sky.
