Gailan Ngan’s material based practice is largely influenced by the historically resource-rich West Coast, where she lives and works. She is recognized for her experimental approach to the ceramic medium, crafting vessels and forms that are both functional and abstract. She relies on her characteristic sense of line, texture and colour to articulate layered intricacies and optical qualities. This latest body of work presents a large-scale exploration of Ngan’s Blob ceramic forms, each with distinctive patterning and decorative elements. Ngan worked closely with a digital studio to scan and produce 3D-printed variations of her signature forms in rich vibrant hues, maintaining the intricate details and textures of the original ceramic work.
