This series of print pieces is a further development of my previous work in slip-casting ceramics. It seeks to explore the meaning and potential for replication, as inherent in clay moulding and printmaking.
While a deliberate intent has been made to imitate and stay “faithful” to the original ceramic work, a different medium (fabric) has been chosen to “re-present” the 2D and 3D versions of the original piece.
Traditionally, for artists to distribute their works to a wider audience, they have to convert the work into prints. But as technology advances, there is now no shortage of “replicating” instruments available for the public. At this very moment, are you replicating?
Are moulding and silkscreen printing necessarily mechanical, requiring meticulousness and precision? Within the boundaries of my given media, I attempted to push my spontaneity to its limit.

By replicating the physical form, the meaning changes accordingly as well.
