This portrait feature is a study on the balance between artist, subject and process. A harmony of design and utility is integral to the history of traditional Chinese ceramics. Ah Xian is a master in this area and has driven his ceramic sculpture into new regions where he explores the harmony between the human form and natural designs. The ceramic bust of John Yu is an exquisitely sublime piece which shows the subject as a calm and benevolent presence amongst the children who climb over his form. >> www.portrait.gov.au/gallery/portmnth/nov06/index.html
