Cui Meimei is a Chinese ceramist based in England. After completing her BA at Jingdezhen Ceramic University, she began his MA in the University of Sunderland of UK in 2018. Now, she is doing PHD in the same universuty . Working primarily with porcelain and recycled glass, her work embraces the unpredictable visual language of porcelain in the making process to explore the importance of concepts such as mistake, imperfection, and chance. Through the study of these contents, she aims to break the inherent making and thinking patterns that are oriented by purpose, motivation and rules.
‘Rebirth’ (glass works)
The glass used in this set of works is from the performance glass-blowing department of the National Glass Center in Sunderland, where a large number of broken vases of glass are thrown into the trash can for various reasons. In my opinion, broken glass still has the basic beauty of glass material, transparent and pure, casting glass can help me recycle them well, and give them a new way of existence.
The form of the work uses the image of the mountain in Chinese ink painting, implying the harmonious coexistence between man and nature.
