Danning Xie is a London-based ceramicist from Beijing, China. Primarily employing hand-building techniques such as coiling and slab-building, her works draw inspiration from classical art, antiquities, and artifacts across diverse cultures. She excels at reinterpreting cultural symbols and traditional motifs to foster cross-cultural dialogues. Her practice also actively incorporates female narratives, often emphasizing female bodily forms and exploring the dynamic fusion of body and object.
Focus:
Creating sculptural ceramic objects that navigate the interplay between artistry and functionality.
Based in a shared ceramic studio in Peckham, London (The Kiln Room), I prioritize sustainability. I actively recycle clay waste and use a communal kiln, significantly minimizing costs, energy use, and potential waste generated by individual production.
