Ceramic clay behaves like a living, natural material that responds instantly to the pressure and rhythm applied during kneading. As an artist works, the clay also guides the interaction, often leading to unexpected and delightful results.
Artist Ray Chan is currently the Chairman of Contemporary Ceramic Society (H.K.) and the Assistant Professor at Hong Kong Baptist University. He excels at exploring the properties of clay from multiple angles and challenging conventional approaches to ceramic works. In this talk, Chan will explore the interplay between the properties of clay and the shaping process, sharing experiments from his artistic practice.
Highlights from some of the Art Talk series have been uploaded to the Hong Kong Visual Arts Centre's YouTube page for you to revisit.
