Lai Ko-Wei
Plastic of Ceramic
Ceramic
Depends on the Venue
2023
Lai Ko-Wei's works often involve the use of molds to create pieces predominantly in ceramics and plastics. Through material transformations, extensive physical labor, and the collection of materials, Lai explores the blurred boundaries between space, dimension, value, identity, and systems. By delving into the contradictory relationships within states, the artist attempts to open up ambiguous imaginings.
