Ma Li’s Sunrise over Xanadu is a glittering otherworldly infinity chamber for the front desk at Elsewhere constructed from baubles and broken glass in the collection. It is designed after traditional Chinese landscape painting.
Ma Li is an installation artist and sculptor who explores dichotomies of time, culture, and nature through the use of nontraditional art media and discarded materials such as fabric, plastic, and paper. Originally from Fuzhou, China, Li formulates dreamlike worlds that are influenced in part by her background in choreography and experience with communist calisthenics. Li graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering from Shanghai Dong Hua University and received a Master of Fine Arts in Painting from San Francisco Art Institute. She has exhibited in galleries including A.I.R. Gallery in Brooklyn, Gallery 825 in Los Angeles, and SOMArts Cultural Center in San Francisco, CA. She was awarded Murphy and Cadogan Contemporary Art Awards and Vermont Studio Center fellowship. Li currently lives and works in San Francisco, California.
