My Neck, My Back are porcelain baby forms cast from an antique Chinese export ware ceramic pillow form – made to prop up the head and protect female hairstyles during sleep. Yet rather than supporting the heads of resting women, these figures carry an assortment of fruit, chicken feet, and a service bell on their backs. They bear the weight of these objects on their elbows and knees, evoking precariousness and tension as they spin while balancing them. Moreover, the figures’ pose implies an inherent subservience to the absent “one” who requires them to perform such work. Combined with the title My Neck, My Back (a reference to the sexually explicit pop song), the pose reminds viewers of both the fetishized and laborious expectations placed on Asian women.
