Arts Thread

I am a patient, precise, persistent and detail-oriented artist with a passion for ceramics. Growing up, I was heavily influenced by my father, an artist who specialized in traditional Chinese watercolour paintings. Being immersed in this artistic world from a young age, I cultivated a strong aesthetic sense that serves me well in my work today. After pursuing my love of ceramics by completing a BFA at Emily Carr University of Art and Design, I recently received my MFA in Ceramics from the Rhode Island School of Design.My artwork seeks to explore the unknown forces that are constantly shaping our lives. I am intrigued by the intangible connections that link people, objects, and places together, and how they manifest across space and time. As a ceramicist emphasizing both interiority and tactility, my work dissects layered ideas of closeness and disruption in order to reveal a nuanced understanding of how we exist in perpetuity with what we can't be seen. I wish to explore this topic through carefully directed installations that emphasize intimacy and engagement among audience members. Through inspiration from my past experience, childhood memories, as well as my Chinese cultural background, to create an immersive environment using clay as a narrative tool, with interactions between physical objects becoming symbolic representations of the powerful bond that exists regardless of distance.
