About Silvester Mok Hoi Ching

Silvester Mok is a Hong Kong ceramics artist who works mainly with 3D printed ceramics. His works have been showcased at various local art fairs including Art Basel Hong Kong 2022, Art Central 2024 and Fine Art Asia 2022, alongside with his first two solo exhibitions “Moiré” and “Coherence” and other exhibitions in Hong Kong, mainland China, Taiwan and Latvia. He is a current member of Contemporary Ceramic Society(Hong Kong) and a PhD student at the City University of Hong Kong.

Mok is captivated by the intricate process and the visually stunning appearance of 3D printed ceramics. He is mesmerized by the process of clay being extruded layer by layer, gradually forming complex structures. Sketches inspired by nature forms and creature anatomies are 3d modelled and digitally manipulated with observations of affordances, then transformed into fired stoneware through the use of a 3D clay printer. This process allows Mok to explore the evolving role of ceramists in the digital realm and the potential of digital ceramics. His creations delve into the complex relationships between tangible objects and the ways how human perceive and interpret objects.
