Mandy Cheng Porcelain Nerikomi

My porcelain works are designed to look graceful and minimalist, they conjure a feeling of lightness and a sense of movement. The signature mesmerizing patterns mimic the vivid diversity of nature, but are not painted on. Using Nerikomi method, the patterns are meticulously prepared by repeated cutting and layering of porcelain sheets. My hands-on approach ensures every pattern is unique and unrepeatable. The works are both functional and decorative: timeless objects to behold and use.

My early years of nerikomi patterns are all geometric repetitive forms, somehow, I felt that it is the best expression of the technique.

Then I played with making free hand curve pattern, starting with slices of black and white lines, formed into leaf shape, overlapping to form a block of pattern, named it nerikomi ‘Rainforest’.

I enjoyed the process very much, and like the organic curve look. Since then, every year, I make a couple each of geometric and free hand patterns.
