Australian Ceramic Artist
About Peter Wang
In 2017, Peter Wang hauled thirty hand-thrown porcelain vessels into the Blue Mountains after weeks of rainfall, burying them in iron-rich creek silt and leaving them exposed to seasonal freeze-thaw cycles for eight months, a radical departure from studio-controlled firing. The resulting 'Weathered Series' revealed unpredictable crystalline fractures and mineral blooms that mimicked geological strata, prompting Artlink to declare it 'the first ceramic body of work to treat erosion as co-author'. Based in Wollongong but deeply rooted in Gadigal and Dharawal Country, Wang refuses commercial glaze recipes, instead distilling native lichens, coastal clay slips, and bushfire ash into reactive surfaces that shift hue under changing light, not as decoration, but as temporal notation. His kiln logs include tide charts and rainfall data; his exhibition notes cite soil pH reports. This isn’t ceramics inspired by landscape, it’s ceramics that absorb, record, and respond to place with forensic patience.
