Her practice explores transformation, movement, tension and balance through the interaction between material, structure and high temperature. Working with slab-built hollow porcelain elements, she constructs her sculptures directly inside the kiln. During firing, the porcelain softens, bends and collapses, allowing the individual elements to move, meet and fuse into a new, self-supporting form. Rather than resisting this transformation, Even-Chen uses it as an integral part of the sculptural process.

Geometric lines and fields of color interact with the organic forms created by firing. Moving continuously across exterior and interior surfaces, they emphasize movement while revealing the changing relationship between inside and outside.

In her recent Layers series, color has become increasingly central. Multiple colors are applied by brush to individual elements, creating overlapping visual rhythms that shift as the forms fold, intersect and open into space.

Even-Chen’s sculptures are autonomous, non-narrative objects. Rather than directing the viewer toward a predetermined meaning, they invite an individual encounter with form, movement, color and space.

Even-Chen holds a PhD in Biology from Tel Aviv University and worked for 22 years as a senior scientist at the Hebrew University Medical School before devoting herself fully to art in 2013. She has exhibited internationally, received numerous awards, and her works are held in museums and private collections worldwide. She has been a member of the International Academy of Ceramics since 2011.
