This was my first time using Limoges porcelain, during my artist residency at A.I.R. Vallauris in 2021.
(https://www.wenhsichenceramics.com/2021-a-i-r-vallauris-french-riviera.html) For me, porcelain is a luxurious material, and I feel very grateful to have worked with this precious clay.
I wanted to build a relationship between my fingers and the porcelain—pushing and pinching the form by hand to express my feelings about the south of France. The air was warm, the sun always smiling. The shapes I created resemble clouds and flowers, drifting between memory and dream. The streets were awash with colour. I felt lost in this idyllic land—dreaming in the South of France.
I feel deep gratitude for walking through the old town of Vallauris, wandering in the footsteps of artists like Roger Capron, Picasso, and many local potters.
I used glazing as a poetic language—it carries the spirit of ceramic making. I enjoyed applying each layer slowly and thoughtfully, step by step. For me, making ceramics is a contemplative journey. There is a quiet sense of order in the process: glazing, firing, reflecting.
