The form shifts during making, affecting the edge. Surface traces accumulate in different directions, creating a rhythm that moves between progression and pause.

Ceramic artist Xiao Shiming (based in China) draws from a background in photography and design, where she initially worked by constructing visual structures in advance to guide outcomes. After turning to ceramics, this approach gradually unraveled, leading her to recognize that many key decisions cannot be predetermined, but must be continuously adjusted through the act of making. 

Her ceramic practice functions more as an ongoing process: working under conditions of partial uncertainty, making successive decisions, and developing a personal mode of judgment through repetition and progression. 

Her works tend to register a period of working state and thinking trajectory. For her, ceramic practice operates as an open system—maintaining a degree of control while allowing space for change—through which different phases of work can unfold and gradually form a continuous line of development.
