Phd viva solo exhibition

On edge

This solo exhibition was created by a practice-led PhD student Wen-Hsi Chen /Harman 陳文曦.

It documents her four years full-time study and development process. Her thesis is on edge: exploring cross-cultural identity through ceramic practice. Her research question: how can a creative practitioner explore cultural identity and 'inbetween-ness' through developing a language that brings together studio practice and fieldwork?

Her ceramic practice investigates cross-cultural identity through clay. Living away from her homeland gives her a clearer perspective of the culture in which she grew up. These experiences have provided a platform from which she can address cross-cultural questions.
 
Wen-Hsi creates a series of ceramic works based on handmade sculptural porcelain spoons, fingerprints, bananas, and traditional Chinese characters to explore tension of cross-cultural identity, between the East and the West through clay.
