Porcelain

AT013–014: Amy Thai, Flux I–II, 2025

​

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 emphasising 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.
