Introduction
My practice embodies an interest in elegant, ambiguous expression, characterised by modest forms and refined details. Combining contemporary artistry with traditional craftsmanship, my work spans a range of both making and firing methods, from wheel throwing and 3D printing to electric and wood firing.
Testing and refinement are central to my practice, often showcased through material and technique exploration. Staying true to my minimalist style, I use muted colour palettes and subtle gestures, aiming to create culturally inspired pieces, encouraging viewers to form their own interpretations while exploring the relationships between modern innovation and classic craftsmanship.

Studies of Wood Firing: Digital Grain, 2025
Varied
Porcelain and Stoneware
Xiamen, China
This work continues my exploration of DigitalGrain, combining the traditional Ling Long glaze technique with contemporary 3D printing. Through wood firing to 1300°C, the glaze, which is traditionally soft and translucent, transforms into a crystalline, glass-like surface, revealing its potential in wood firing. Created during my artist residency in Xiamen, China, the piece is paired with a second porcelain form that displays traditional wood-firing effects such as fire flashing, highlighting a dialogue between modern innovation and traditional glaze and firing techniques.

Stoneware
London, United Kingdom
Mom’s Favourite embodies the harmony between tradition and innovation. This series reinterprets the classic small-necked vase by contrasting a matte bisque body with a vibrant, glossy glaze, offering a contemporary twist on a timeless form. Beyond aesthetics, the piece carries deep personal significance. Its shape, favoured by my mother, symbolises her influence and my family’s pride in my artistic journey. The curves and contours of the piece evoke the warmth of tradition, while the bold surface treatment reflects personal growth and creative evolution. By merging classic ceramic techniques with modern expression, ‘Mom’s Favourite’ serves as both a homage to familial bonds and a testament to the ever-evolving nature of artistic identity.

William Morris project, 2025
Porcelain with clear transparent glaze London, United Kingdom
This series was created in collaboration with the William Morris Gallery in London. By simplifying and embossing the Morris patterns onto the base of cups, I reimagined his designs in a modern, subtle way—revealing a hidden detail for the user. To expand my skills, I explored jigger-jolly and plaster mold-making instead of my usual pottery wheel, gaining insight into the production-based methods commonly used in ceramic factories.

Studies of Wood Firing, 2024
Stoneware and porcelain with ash glazes
Jingdezhen, China
‘Studies of Wood Firing’ was created during my artist residency in Jingdezhen, China, to explore and understand wood firing. I crafted porcelain and stoneware pieces to observe their effects and actively participated in the firing process to deepen my knowledge. The results reveal a range of surfaces, including oxidation and reduction, flushing, and smoky patterns shaped by the fire.

Paper clay with gold glaze Singapore
Letters explores the idea of communication even after death. This is portrayed through the use of paper offerings remade in ceramics, with imprinted handwritten messages. Burning paper offerings are a common practice in my community, with the belief that items can be received by the deceased after being burnt.
