Jacob Chan

2017 STUDENT AWARD WINNER

My work focuses on my cultural background and heritage. being half Chinese and Half English my work takes inspiration from traditional Chinese shapes and forms, whilst the surfaces are heavily decorated in slips and oxides that contain other materials such as raw materials collected from South Wales and bits of cast iron washed up from foundries around Liverpool in the past. I use these materials to represent my Western culture and my cultural journey through my creativity.
