RCA Show 2020
Shau Tzu
Ascription Stoneware 20x25x35cm Born and raised in Taipei, Taiwan, Tzu received her BA in Crafts & Design from the National Taiwan University of Arts in 2016. Then she went to TAMA Art University in Tokyo as an exchange student. Before starting her MA at the Royal College of Arts’s ceramics and glass, she worked for the Taipei Contemporary Art Museum. Last year, she also finished an artist residency in Jingdezhen’s Sanbao Ceramic Institute. Shau’s work is often inspired by collecting people’s emotions and observing the vivid moments in her own life. Through her work, she wants to connect to the viewer’s life experience and trigger their own individual thoughts and responses. The work is usually constructed by building numerous clay coils. The fingerprints will be left during pressing the coil layer by layer, which perfectly reflect the time spent undertaking this process, when there is only clay and herself.
