Heidi Kwong is an emerging ceramic artist currently completing her Bachelor of Arts in Ceramics at RMIT. Originally from Hong Kong, she found solace in clay as respite from her corporate career, using it as a meditative practice amidst the demands of daily life. Kwong’s art practice is inspired by the natural qualities of clay and the organic forms it can take. Influenced by modernist artists such as Barbara Hepworth and Toshiko Takaezu, she emphasises the tactile connection between the artist and the material. Her making process is founded by intuitive hand-building techniques and rigorous material testing. Through a personal dialogue with each piece, Kwong strives to evoke a sense of tranquillity and contemplation, inviting an encounter of material experience of slow beauty.
