Nathan Nhan<br />
Australian National University<br />
Nathan Nhan is a ceramicist whose practice uses<br />
experimental making and the ceramic process as<br />
a tool to create, investigate and manifest identities<br />
within his work. Responding to the inherent<br />
materiality and cultural significance of ceramics,<br />
Nhan reflects upon concepts of place, community,<br />
and identity from an Asian Australian perspective.<br />
He often employs traditional vessels as a foundation,<br />
transforming historical forms into contemporary<br />
vehicles that play with the medium’s enduring epic<br />
narrative of both Eastern and Western perspectives<br />
imbued with personal stories and social commentary<br />
