Theodosius Ng 黄振康 (b. Singapore, they/he) is a queer Chinese-Australian ceramic artist based in Naarm (Melbourne) with a background in visual arts, music, visual styling, interior design and decoration. Ng employs wheel throwing, hand building, and experimental glazing techniques, embodying their curiosity for interdisciplinary practices and the tactility of materials.
Fascinated by brutalism, religious architecture, sacred geometry, and the natural world, Ng's visual inspirations revolve around the eclectic and profound. Their art is a manifestation of their queerness, chronic illness, and immigrant identity — intertwining these aspects to explore the extraneous within the familiar. Cultural, ritual, and spiritual concepts are catalysts for Ng's exploration, unveiling an inherent desire to unearth patterns, beauty, and intention within their creations.
Ng's creations challenge the boundary between form and function, merging expression with utility. They aspire to engage in symbiotic collaboration with nature and community, to transcend conventional boundaries.
