Leading to the entrance of Chang's house is a patch of turf paved with stone.
Chang, whose father is from China, grew up scrimping and saving to sustain his family. He is used to turning out items which many consider to be rubbish into something artistic or useful.
Influenced by his father's generation, Chang believes that with some polishing and refinement, even a piece of junk can be transformed into something splendid. Pointing to a piece of driftwood, "it is simply lovely to feel the wood's texture with your hands."
In an age of mass-produced consumables these three artists' works show that tradition and creativity have not completely fallen by the wayside.
