Working in
Jingdezhen porcelain, Amy Thai extends her exploration of contrasting forces
into a new material vocabulary. These floral forms, titled 'Flux' (流,
Liú—meaning 'flow' in Chinese), can be displayed individually or as a pair, one
lying horizontal while the other stands upright. The unglazed porcelain reveals
the slightly grey colour of fired clay, its raw surface emphasizing form and
texture over sheen. Flux I relates directly to a work from the marble
'Undercurrent' series, translating the stone's organic movement into
porcelain's delicate strength. Together, these pieces demonstrate how Thai's
artistic concerns – the tension between permanence and transformation, weight
and lightness – remain consistent across radically different materials. Where
marble speaks of geological time and glass captures light, porcelain brings its
own tradition of fragility made durable through fire.
