As dwellers on the coast, people are blessed with the cryptic sea. Its fitful ebb and flow grips me especially at the dead of night. Like our society, like our life, like the journey of art creation, this little-known briny is best-known for causing boundless fear and solitude.

'As a ceramicist, every clay I play is an episode of my solo voyage. Despite its sea-like vicissitudes, I still brave each episode, embracing bottomless possibilities.'

海浪規律地拍岸，看似刻板的波動又截然不同，零星地點綴靜謐的午夜。神秘的大海叫人孤獨、恐懼，如生活、如社會、如藝術創作。

「每次我取泥塑型，便成了一個又一個獨自出海的故事。海，變幻莫測，但我依舊期待出航。」

Artist statement

楊子敬畢業於香港浸會大學視覺藝術系。自畢業後，不斷鑽研由陶瓷的質感帶出細膩及謙卑的情緒之可能性。用泥創作的時候總會有很多不經意的紋路出現，藝術家和粘土之間猶如在過程中創造了一種對話般的關係。他以最原始和基本的形式呈現作品，希望展現出陶瓷中謙遜而微妙的美。

YEUNG Tsz King, Beavis, graduated from Hong Kong Baptist University.

YEUNG studies the possibility of expressing subtle emotions from the ceramics' textures. During the discovery of new textures, the process of approaching and transforming created a dialogue-like relationship between the artist and the clay. By presenting the work in its most raw and essential forms, he hopes to bring out the humble and subtle beauty in ceramics.
