Trained as a painter, Chang also incorporates the visual language of handicraft into his work. His work in progress since 2003, “Quilt of the Dead”, is work that had expanded from a curiosity about obituaries found in newspapers to a community participatory embroidery project. He is currently working on a series of collages using thousands of used postage stamps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
