Born in Hong Kong, originally window display designer. Kwan started to learn ceramics in Shanghai in 2013. In 2016, she joined a workshop and residency program at Guldagergaard, International Ceramic Research Center in Denmark. And at the same year, she moved back from Shanghai and setup Kwan-T studio in Hong Kong. Kwan is a designer maker. She intends to explore new ways of seeing ceramics, and to bridge the gap between sculpture and utilitarian object. She wishes to create a dialogue between traditional craft and modern technology without losing the human touch in the creative process. She has started using paper and clay as medium since 2014. She is always intrigued by the fragility and versatility of both materials, and it became the starting point of her ever-evolving Paper Series. Her design background has a strong influence on her works, and most of them are reflected upon the essence of form, structure and functionality. She wants to strip off the unnecessary through abstraction, hoping the simplicity and purity of her works could bring a timeless beauty to the daily life.

“Wisp” is a quest of lightness and harmony. I wanted to express the simplicity of geometric structure through filaments of clay. Layers of hand extruded threads hold up the form and create a sense of rhythm, placid and yet spontaneous. The structure itself manifest a transformation of technique and aesthetic, a reconstruction of a quintessential form.
