About the artwork
Xie Ai Ge's minimalist sculpture style woos young and old alike. Her latest series, Tree Top Memories, not only contains subjects that are delightful, charming and humorous in themselves, but also evokes a world of mountains, woods, streams, mythical figures and wild animals that caught her imagination when she was younger and living deep in the hinterland of China.
