Techniques Used
Silver decoration
Silver decoration is a technique where decorations using silver pigment and silver leaf are applied onto a plain unglazed base or glazed surface of a vessel and are fired onto the vessel in a kiln. The silver decorations are fired at a temperature lower than the firing of the underglaze decorations, and the surface is polished to create a glossy finish.

Comment on Award
I am very particular about the shapes when I make my ceramics. Every line and surface and those combined to become a three-dimensional form is important. This lead to creating ceramic boxes. However, in my recent years, when I am at a loss on what form to make, I go back to the basics and shave off many elements. I am very grateful that my artwork that I made through this process has been highly evaluated. I would like to continue to pursue my way of expression going forward.
