Silk Glazes continue the minimalist aesthetic of Planar Tunnels, extending Liang’s exploration of the circular form and introducing new materials never before used in his practice. On ceramic plates that have not been glazed, Liang has continuously added a “bio glaze,” a natural peptide solution produced from the degradation of fibroin from silkworms. For Liang, this bio glaze embodies life itself, and in becoming the glaze of a ceramic work it completes a transformative act. The ceramic clay, belonging to the element of earth, and the bio glaze, belonging to the element of water, are brought together through fire, becoming one.
