ZIXUAN ZHANG
“CODE&CRAFT”
2025
Zixuan is always inspired by the nature of the material she is handling. In her works, she makes the uniqueness of each material shine by following the principle, that she will try her best to make sure each material is irreplaceable at each working stage. The beauty of her works is created by careful handling and thoughtful design.
In her recent practices, Zixuan combines her interest and talents on 3d design, ceramics and glass crafting, in order to create the dialogue between ceramics and glass. Through a series of techniques include 3d drawing, 3d printing and glass blowing, and constant thinking and handling, Zixuan explores materialities and technical possibilities of fragile materials. Her works are the balance of complementarity and compromise.
