__”Among the Art Center ceramics faculty, the Michael and Soyong Kang Partington installation and wall pieces are as compelling as anything I’ve seen in the ever-expanding ceramics media; perhaps more so. “Mystery Fungus Dinner for Four” is true to its title: Hyper-realistic clay ’shrooms adorn platters and dishes (also made for the occasion); and the wall pieces are suggestive of the most exotic of these mysterious fruits of the forest. Better yet, they speak to mystery … period.”__
