Hudson employs the modelling clay to craft extravagantly detailed, painterly compositions that blur the boundaries between painting, sculpture, drawing and engraving. The series follows the plight of Young Sen, tracing the protagonists journey from his home in rural China, to his rise to prominence on the international art scene and his eventual demise embroiled in a world of drugs, vice and the darkest corners of global politics.
