She was nominated for the Louie Tiffany Biennale Award in 2011. Hood Museum of Art in New Hampshire, fidelity investments in Boston, the Ixon World Ceramic Center in South Korea, the Glenn Museum in Canada, the Ceramics Museum in Taiwan and the Consulate General in Hong Kong collects her work permanently. Her work, music, was chosen as the cover of the Utopian impulse: the practice of contemporary ceramics, a magazine edited by Ashley Chambers, Émi Gogarty and Mureils Peren and published by Lonsdale in 2007.
She is Ho sin-ying, born in Hong Kong.
Her name means "shadow of good will" in Chinese,
But ‘Sin’ among Sin Ying which printed on her residence permit means evil
Even name could cause fallacies and ambiguities in different cultural contexts,
but that was just the prologue and silhouette of her "continuing journey" of cultural fusion and conflict,
as she performed Shakespeare's plays in Cantonese,
emigrated to Canada as an overseas Chinese,
and embarked on an artistic journey as an actress,
cultural Dislocation and collision became the main topic of her life and works.
The theme of "Cultural Clash" in his ceramic works is shaped by the Asian background and Western life experience. She praises the brilliance of Chinese blue-and-white Porcelain, deconstructs and reconstructs it, transforming the familiar shapes into unfamiliar and undefined sculptural shapes. She uses a variety of images, icons and symbols to decorate the surface and combines traditional hand-drawn images with new techniques such as computer-printed decals to highlight the difference in the speed at which different techniques congeal.
East and West, past and present, symbol and language, hand-painted and decal transfer, container and sculpture, two-dimensional and three-dimensional, these elements collide and interweave into a whole. The blending of modern and traditional ideas, the blending of multiple creative techniques, is my reflection on identity and memory, and a tribute to one of the finest ceramic traditions in the globalized world -- Chinese ceramics.
