Pure art has always been looking for a way to be fully applied, just like pottery art wants to gradually become a means to independently express artistic concepts. They can be symbiotic or causal.

Contemporary ceramics have always received only a small part of attention, but still can not reach the level of attention that British and American contemporary art pays to ceramics. Based on the important position of ceramic materials in our entire cultural pattern, if we learn ceramics, it is our unique cultural attribute.

In other words, we always feel that excellent ceramic artists should speak out from among us.

　　 ·Theme combined with material characteristics

Nowadays, the popular themes about gender, women's rights, nature and so on in Europe and the United States can be expressed with the ceramic material, because many of the terms used in the manufacture of utensils come from human body parts.

For example, the bottom of a vessel is called foot, and the bottleneck is called neck. In addition, there are other expressions such as clay body (the body is also related to the body), so ceramics can be related to the body, gender, and women's rights;

Moreover, ceramics originate from the earth. Different geographical environments produce different clay. Using local clay to create can give unique background and meaning to the works. This is the inherent property of ceramic materials, which is difficult for other materials to achieve.
