Diversity

Hybrid Ceramics – In between Taipei and Bristol

Wen-Hsi Harman

This paper will investigate, as a Taiwanese ceramic artist living away from my homeland, how my ceramic practice attempts to combine Taiwanese social rituals and context with my research through clay to express my cultural identity. A series of ceramic works including handmade sculptural porcelain spoons, fingerprints, bananas, and traditional Chinese characters explore the tension of cross-cultural identity, between the East and the West


Date: October 3, 2018, 12:10-12:20 (Wednesday)

Venue: Room 603, NO.161 , Sec, 1 , Zhongshan Rd, Banqiao District , New Taipei City 220
