Description
For Material & Method, Jeajun Lee presents a series of his signature porcelain vessels, defined by their precise and faultless forms. Each work is finished with a high-gloss glaze that flows down the surface of the vessel, gathering into pooled drips. The glaze appears thinner at the top as it spreads across the porcelain, emphasising both control and fluidity within Lee’s process, while highlighting the relationship between structure and gravity.
