Liyang is a Chinese-Canadian architect and artist living in Brooklyn, New York.
Her work is born out of her play with materials, proportion, time, and light; often, forms emerge from the inherent qualities of specific materials in conversation with her hands.

The Curtain Sconce
features a curtain as an analogue dimmer to adjust brightness and ambiance. The ceramic body is rough and raw like stone freckled with moss, its robust geometry balanced with the rhythmic billow of the canvas curtain. The ceramic balls are pulled along the track of the ceramic body to gather or unfurl the curtains.
