The body of china.porsche is a fiberglass cast (mold) of a hand-carved wooden model, shaped to look like a Porsche 911. The artist covers the fiberglass body with white paint to yield the equivalent of a ceramic ground. On the white ground he paints narrative and decorative patterns derived from Qianlong period (1736-1795) ceramics, a time he sees as an important crossroad in Chinese history.

Interesting.
