SOTA Visual Arts student featured on "Contented" for his ceramics project

As part of his final assessment, Visual Arts student, Hans Chew, put up an automated vending machine installation which sells ceramics pieces handmade using the wheel-throwing technique. Although they look similar, each piece is unique and different in terms of size and glaze. They were priced at $5, $10, $15, $20, $30 and $100.

The installation, titled "Not Always $2", explores the monetary value we attribute to handmade ceramics and highlights the commodification of handmade ceramics within the context of our highly mechanised world.

His work was featured on "Contented", an online magazine which focused on Asian subculture. Click here for the full article.
