ON HIS WORK
“I produce blue-and-white porcelain objects using cobalt as a pigment, drawing parallels with both historic craft as well as a material used in the tech industry. As an Asian American, I hope to continue the lineage of blue-and-white by infusing a digital perspective on such a respected medium.”
