Tsuchihüsli
Céramiste and Global Citizen, creating one-of-a-kind pieces in the heart of Basel
Raised in Peking, I am a Global Citizen who migrated across 3 continents over the past 20 years. I started my clay journey only in 2021, having since learnt wheel throwing in Switzerland & Greece, and hand-building in Italy. Combining both camps of learning is my preferred approach, to heavily modify and to leave behind deliberate traces of wheel throwing. A scientist by training, I am foremost interested in experimenting with the resilience, mutability and infinite possibilities of our earthly materials. Future installation combining my drawings and ceramics, and using clay as a media for conceptual art to engage with the world are directions I very much look forward to.
As a founding member of the Ceramics Collective Basel Verein, I dedicate a part of my time to fostering céramophile community in the heart of Basel.
