Diem Chau is an wonderful artist. Originally from Vietnam, she studied art in Seattle and has won several awards for her work.
Her porcelain works are amazing, using the threads to break out of the confines of the crockery structure. See more of these on her website gallery.
She also produces modern embroideries, that have understated elegance, and that also go beyond their normal dimensions.
You can visit her blog, check out her Flickr, buy some of her work from her etsy store, and, if you’re in Portland, you can go and see her in an exhibition that runs til the end of June:
Pulliam Deffenbaugh Gallery
929 NW Flanders Street
Portland, OR 97209
503-228-6665
Hours: Tuesday to Saturday, 11 – 5:30
And as if that wasn’t enough, Diem is also reknowned for her crayon sculptures – which are superb!

Wow! I love the idea of dripping the thread off the canvas.
All I can say is “Whoooaaaa..”
Because I am quite eloquent when it comes to describing how amazing things are.
AND awesome crayon sculpture…I feel so inadequate in the face of such brilliance!
I am in love with her work!
Fantastic – I long to be able to touch her porcelain/thread pieces!
