🪷 NATURE / NURTURE - I’m in a two person show with
@danyang.art at
@laisun_keane Boston opening May 1!
I’m showing 3-D printed ceramic works based on Penjing, or rock landscapes and Chinese botanicals. I made these works when I was an artist-in-residence at
@expressivecomputationlab at
@mat_ucsb , University of California, Santa Barbara. They were designed in Rhino, Grasshopper, and Sketch Pad, with the help of the geniuses of
@expressivecomputationlab . Works are all printed on a 3D PotterBot
@3dpotter . Yes I learned Rhino, visual coding, and how to load (and zero) a very heavy tube of clay with one arm. I made a wild amount of works and experiments that summer, which I’ve slowly begun to unpack. l drew the 3D printing toolpath on an iPad, to form a 3D object just by drawing! I made textured images based on black and white photos, but they looked like weavings, and so then I started weaving. I scanned objects and friends’ heads and printed them in clay. I did a lot of crazy stuff! I’ll post some reels of the hypnotic 3D printing. Anyway here is a sample of my wild PotterBot summer in a lab by the sea.
⚡️ALSO! So proud to announce that
@danyang.art and I both have works acquired by
@harvardartmuseums thanks to
@laisun_keane ! You can search for our works on the Harvard Art Museum collections website! Our first institutional acquisitions!!!! 👌
I won’t be able to make the opening but will be in Boston in a few weeks and will do an artist talk.

—————
@laisun_keane opens a new exhibition featuring new works by ceramic artists Raina Lee and Anna Danyang Song. Lee and Song created work in dialogue, focusing on the themes of nature in the cultural context of Chinese medicinal plants and scholar rocks. Heavily informed by each artist’s background and cultural history, the works incorporate ancient ceramics techniques and modern technology to express their view points in vessel and sculptural forms.
LaiSun Keane is proud to have placed both artists’ works in the permanent collection of the Harvard Art Museums.
