Sprawling out from Nam Koo Terrace
Fiona Wong
2024
Stoneware (Shigaraki black clay, ceramic raw materials, local clay, incense ash)
The artwork Sprawling out from Nam Koo Terrace comprises a set of 3D-printed ceramic containers modelled on the patterned tiles of Nam Koo Terrace and an assembly of ceramic tiles recomposing a historical map of Wan Chai. It explores the connection between the raw colours and textures of local clay and the history and culture of the area. Fiona began her project by collecting soil from around Nam Koo Terrace, selecting and extracting clay suitable for making ceramics. Using 3D printing technology, she created square containers modelled after patterned tiles, pushing the boundaries of earth plasticity and allowing the soil of the heritage building to carry its own story. The ceramic tiles of the collage map are coloured with slip made from various formulas. This technique dates back to the Neolithic period, as exemplified by the painted pottery exhibited in the CUHK Art Museum. The creation process reimagines the ever-changing and complex history with a variety of colours to present the unique charm of Hong Kong.
