Wen-Hsi Harman

Wen-Hsi Harman (1984- ) is a Taiwanese/British ceramic artist, based in Bristol, United Kingdom.

I am also a member of the UNESCO-International Academy of Ceramic IAC , NCECA National Council on Education for the ceramic arts and Royal Society of Sculptors (MRSS).

My ceramic practice investigates the concept of ‘in-betweenness’ between Taiwan and Britain. Living away from my homeland gives me a clearer perspective of the culture in which I grew up.

The cross-cultural experience provides a platform, from which I can address the questions of who I am and how I might express, and communicate my experience of in-betweenness as a place where I can survive - where I can draw breath to help me cope with the challenges of living in two cultures.
