Biography / 个人介绍

Liyu Tang (Leyna)

Liyu Tang is a ceramic artist and an Individual Member of the International Academy of Ceramics. Her practice develops a distinctive language of fluid structure, combining specially formulated porcelain with fiber to preserve folds, movement and the traces of transformation through firing. She has participated as a resident artist in two China National Arts Fund projects devoted to folk blue-and-white porcelain and red-and-green overglaze decoration.

Artist Statement / 艺术理念

“I create the conditions,
then let clay find its own form.”

My practice explores time, memory, bodily perception, and the connection between people and nature. Through a non-traditional forming process, porcelain slip meets a fiber structure; gravity, temperature and material tension become active participants.

我的创作围绕时间、记忆、身体感知以及人与自然的关联展开。通过非传统成型方式,让瓷泥与纤维结构相遇,使重力、温度与材料张力共同参与形态的生成。

Its Own Form

Instead of deciding exactly what the final form should be, I create conditions in which clay can move, bend, stretch, collapse, and eventually find its own form.

从织物的剪裁与缝合,到瓷泥、重力与1320°C还原烧共同作用,作品在控制与偶发之间逐渐生成。
