Liyang Zhang
Liyang Zhang is a Chinese-Canadian architect and ceramic artist, born in Osaka and based in New York City. Her interest in ceramics emerged from a desire to explore the most elemental aspects of architecture, namely light, material, and form, on a more intimate, tactile scale. Her work often arises from a dialogue between hand and material, allowing form to emerge from the clay’s inherent qualities. As a maker, she sees her role as guiding a material to reveal its true nature and inviting its own character and story to emerge.

The Altar Lamp features a porcelain lamp shade inspired by the structure of leaves. Porcelain, naturally translucent and fragile, is reinforced here with a ribbed surface and outer lining that adds strength and definition. The form folds into a structural curve, held just above the ground on an Iron frame.
