Thannie Phan — 'Loa Kèn Trang 2', Sculptural Vessel ON HOLD

Loa Kèn Trắng II is a vessel shaped after the calla lily flower. The piece is fully glazed on the outside but not the inside to show more of the clay translucency. This vessel is very light and thin and due to the translucency, can also be used as a lamp shade. However, due to the nature of porcelain which does retains heat, choose high quality LED light bulbs if using this piece as lamp shade.

Thannie Phan of ‘Gốm Maker’ is an artist and ceramicist born in Kien Giang, Vietnam. She grew up in Sai Gon and Singapore, lived in Auckland, Sydney (Gadigal Country) and now based in Naarm (Melbourne, Australia).

Her works are hand-built through the technique of pinching coils, using layers of slips, oxides, and glazing thorugh brushing or stamping. The vessels are light, the edges are raw and the palette is restrained. Her practice is a physical interpretation of the stories she writes on where she is, where she was, and the people surrounding her life.
