I have always been drawn to understanding things at their most essential level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat instinct continues to shape my ceramic practice. I focus intently on line, texture, and character; structure, function, and detail; as well as materials, firing, and technique—the intrinsic qualities of the vessel itself. I prefer not to tell elaborate stories about my work; instead, I let the objects themselves—their form, function, materials, and craftsmanship—remain the focus.”\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0792\/2388\/1966\/collections\/932617db12f31035fc3c79e756f3fcbb.jpg?v=1788164672","url":"https:\/\/prunusshop.com\/collections\/yu-bingyou.oembed","provider":"prunus","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
