Yixue Yang/ Winter Issue


Yixue Yang is a contemporary ceramic artist whose work delves deeply into the Eastern philosophical concept of 'non-being'. Drawing from the rich tapestry of Chinese philosophy, Yixue explores the essence of 'Tao', which is rooted in 'non-being', representing an infinite unmanifested vitality and existence in a formless and invisible state. Her artistic journey revolves around integrating this profound concept into the creation of contemporary ceramic artworks, seeking to manifest the invisible 'non-being' visually.Currently pursuing her doctoral studies in ceramics and glass at the University of Sunderland, School of Art and Design, in the United Kingdom, Yixue Yang's artistic practice spans across various mediums. She skillfully harnesses the properties of both glass and ceramics, weaving them together to create compelling works of art.Yixue's approach to her craft is multifaceted. She employs tangible and visible clay objects to reflect an alternate space, symbolizing 'non-being'. Through her exploration of negative space, she captures the hidden power of 'non-being', encompassing infinite 'being'. Additionally, she investigates the temporal nature inherent in clay, tracing the dynamic cyclical process from 'non-being' to 'being'. With her keen understanding of Eastern philosophy and a mastery of artistic techniques, Yixue Yang continues to push the boundaries of contemporary ceramics, offering viewers a glimpse into the profound and enigmatic realm of 'non-being'.
