CHIO - THIN SET an Exhibition Dedicated to Don Hardy

THIN SET

a solo exhibition featuring works by CHIO.

"This collection embodies childhood memories of laying tile walls and floors with my father. Although the work was laborious, I cherish this part of my life. These moments involved much more than laying tile. When I accompanied my dad, it was as if we stepped into a separate world. Large, gated communities with manicured entrances. Houses bigger than I could imagine, with grand entryways and boastfully elegant staircases. These houses were empty, and it was our job to prepare them. As I watched my dad carefully smooth the grout over the tile, I couldn’t help but think how beautiful it looked. He would never call himself one, but my dad was an artist. This collection commemorates his artistry and the sacred time I spent with him."
