NTCAM Outdoor Art Features｜KUNG Wen-Yi｜K. Pottery Making Process

KUNG Wen-Yi Pottery Making Process 2009 [The script of this episode] As you walk along this corridor, your attention is drawn to the large ceramic vases and jars crafted from red brick and scattered throughout the area. This installation, titled Pottery Making Process, is the work of artist Kung Wen-Yi. Inspired by the traditional structure of snake kilns, Kung initially intended to replicate the kiln’s enclosed form. Due to safety concerns, he modified the design to an open layout that blends more seamlessly with the surroundings. A closer look at the kiln walls and ground reveals intentional marks resembling fire traces, conveying the journey of pottery firing. As you meander through this red brick corridor, the work unfolds alongside the historical evolution of ceramic culture, beginning with raw clay. Each step brings you closer to the enduring spirit of pottery that defines this land. -- Hosting provided by SoundOn
