Abstract
- Chapter 5 of the book "Sensuous Surfaces: The Decorative Object in Early Modern China," by Jonathan Hay is presented. It discusses the idea of inherent patterning of organic materials in Ming-Qing decoration in China. It further emphasizes that material patterning, despite its various origins, is understood by artisans and consumers to represent the potential of change as an embodied flux that could be created as an organic result of manufacturing processes.
