In Sun You’s multimedia painting and sculptures the artist uses a mix of everyday objects and craft materials to create provisional tableaus that celebrate women’s work, domestic ornamentation and the language of abstraction.

You’s abstract wall panels operate as both paintings and wall-bound low reliefs. The surfaces of the wood panels are speckled with abstracted three-dimensional forms made of polymer clay, acrylic paint and interior wood moulding. In these works, color is presented as both a physical object and a spatial image. 

Polymer clay, one of the artist’s primary materials, typically is used in craft techniques like bead making. The association with domesticity and baking in her work is reinforced through You’s hand-building techniques of rolling, pinching and firing clay in her home oven. In all of You’s works, the artist draws beauty and humor from humble materials and creates compositions that reflect the joy and fragility of the world.
