Artist based in Seattle, WA
Ling Chun is a Hong Kong–born, Seattle-based multimedia artist whose work uses ceramics, hair, neon, and color to explore identity, cultural memory, and belonging. Through her bold material choices, she transforms clay into a powerful language for expressing home, change, and personal history.
“I Got Gum in My Hair – Year of Rabbit” & “Moon Jar“
Ling Chun’s works “I Got Gum in My Hair – Year of Rabbit” (on the left) and “Moon Jar (with Flying Words)” (on the right) reflect her playful and personal approach to ceramics, material, and storytelling. In I Got Gum in My Hair, she returns to using hair as part of her art, connecting memory, and transformation through a piece made for the Lunar New Year, while Moon Jar (with Flying Words) continues this expressive style by combining bold visual elements with poetic movement and cultural references.
Through vibrant ceramic forms and glowing neon references to Hong Kong’s fading visual landscape, Chun creates works that hold memory while also expressing loss, adaptation, and renewal. Her art reflects the tension between permanence and change, visibility and erasure, and the process of redefining oneself across cultures.
