Wei Cheng is a Vancouver-based artist whose practice centers on ceramics and the integration of found objects. She studied at Langara College and Emily Carr University of Art + Design, where she developed a refined technical foundation and a deep appreciation for the expressive potential of clay.
At the heart of Wei’s work is her thoughtful observation of the nuance within fleeting moments of everyday life. Her works exemplify her pondering through deliberate unions of fired clay and found materials. She approaches material as both archive and language, exploring how form and surface can retain memory and meaning.
