ARTIST STATEMENT

Being born and raised in Canada, I embody both Western and Chinese cultures. Subconsciously, it has been a huge influence in my work where I draw from historical and contemporary references. Ceramics has allowed me to intertwine both cultures in my work to find a sense of belonging. My work has allowed me to express these hidden parts of my identity and to learn more about my culture. I hope to convey what it means to embrace these two cultures and to be able to represent my concepts through ceramics.
