Born in 1966 in Singapore, Jason Lim holds a Bachelor of Art (Hons) from Central St Martins College of Art and Design, U.K. (1992) and a Master of Fine Art from Royal Melbourne Institute Technology University, Australia (2003). Lim is a trained ceramicist and interdisciplinary artist.This is one of nine works in the ‘Are you afraid of ceramics and stuff like that’ series. The emphasis is not on the functionality of a vessel, yet Lim retains the vessel form for his objects in this series, and they are intentionally small and manipulated so as to encourage the viewer to go up-close, while serving as reminders of everyday items encountered during mundane circumstances. Consisting of a grouping of three slabs that curve inwards but do not fully join at the ends, the rough forms are textured with punctured holes and a stamped circle pattern.
