Erica Tung
Erica Tung is a designer, maker, and material researcher based in London. Her work is driven by a curiosity about the properties and relationships of ceramic and glass. She is fascinated by the similarity between the two materials, their intersection of techniques, and how they complement each other when placed together, an approach that informs her ceramic and glass pet urns and memorial vessels.
Her work explores the emotional resonance of objects, with each box serving as a metaphor for both protection and the sentimental value attached to cherished memories. Through these handmade pet urns, she delves into themes of coexistence, connection, and nostalgia. The interplay between ceramics and glass reflects human relationships; their endurance, fragility, and evolution. Through this fusion of materials, she aims to provoke reflection on the complexity of personal connections, and how memory both preserves and reshapes these bonds.
