On exhibit at the Modern Eden Gallery in San Francisco, California.
These ceramic sculptures draw inspiration from the toys and action figures
of Ma’s childhood that helped him cope with social stress. In creating these mobile forms in his series “Homebodies”,
Calvin Ma wanted to express his love for action figures and their
ability to captivate and innovate stories to comfort us. His ceramic and
stoneware sculptures combine stationary architectural structures and
roving vehicles with the human (and kitty) form in a mashup of
irregularity and contradictions, but still retaining that facial hint of
childlike inquisitiveness, ready to make up an entirely new adventure.
