Join us in welcoming Wei Cheng (@weic_studio ) to Artaxis. Wei is a Vancouver-based artist working primarily with ceramics and found objects. At the heart of Wei’s practice is a fascination with the intricate and fleeting moments of everyday life. She approaches clay as both archive and language, exploring how form and surface can hold memory and meaning. Learn more at /artist/wei-cheng/

It took me a few days to let last Thursday settle in. I’m deeply grateful for this @northwestceramicsfoundation award and touched by this recognition. The path is long, but I’ve never walked it alone. Thank you everyone for being part of this journey ❤️
Nine ceramic artists. Two cultural contexts — Taiwan and Vancouver. One exhibition.
"Where form meets the boundless" brings together artists whose works are held in collections from the Louvre to the Gyeonggi Ceramic Museum, from YVR Airport to temples in Shanghai. Among them: an IAC member under UNESCO, the president of Taiwan's Ceramic Sculpture Association, and one of Vancouver's most sought-after emerging ceramists.
But this show isn't about credentials. It's about what happens when radically different approaches to clay — shaped by different traditions, different educations, different landscapes — are placed side by side in a single room.
May 23– June 3, 2026
Tue - Sun 1-6PM
Opening reception: May 23rd, 2026 1pm

Now part of the @terraterreceramics in Montreal, this work continues its journey from the Northern Coast of BC, through Vancouver, and across to the east.
What was gathered along the shoreline now moves through new landscapes, holding fragments of where it began while quietly unfolding in another place.
During my time @northpacificcannery , beach-combing became part of my daily rhythm, often shared with Heather and her family.
It was not just about finding objects, but also encountering traces of this site’s layered history.
In this work, it brings together materials collected along the shoreline, including broken machine parts, fragments of glasses, stones, and bones shaped by the water. Their worn surfaces and warm tones echo the light, memory, and atmosphere of that time. And beyond.
Last summer, around the same time, I was given a special opportunity by @princerupertartscouncil to spent three unforgettable weeks at @northpacificcannery .
During that time, I became attuned to the rhythms of the place, the shifting tides, the changing light, and the layered, almost overwhelming textures of the cannery itself.
It is the kind of experience that stays with you long after you leave. I still carry pieces of that time with me, both physically in the work I continue to develop, and emotionally in how I approach new space. Very grateful for it.
