The article features painter and ceramist Caroline Cheng. She has become a force in developing new art talent while preserving ceramic techniques. The underlying concept of her work is seeing the traditional anew and re-examining the relationships of China's long history and traditions in the context of their usefulness. When dealing with social commentary, her work has been described as sarcastic and irreverent. Her approach in "Mao As Ho Chi Minh" is reasoned and subdued, creating a work of reserve and calm. It was accomplished through the use of muted colours and orderly placement of medium-toned patterns.
