303: Sam Chung on developing novel methods for altering porcelain

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an interview with Sam Chung. In his recent porcelain vessels, Chung references Korean folk-art motifs in both form and surface. In our interview we talk about the transitions in technique and content he has made in his career, his methods for altering ceramic forms, and the impact that loss has on personal identity. Chung is based in Tempe, Arizona where he is a professor at Arizona State University. Chung currently has a solo show on display at Gallery IMA in Seattle, WA. To see examples of his work visit www.galleryima.com or www.samchungceramics.com.
