黃錦敏
Kammy Wong Kam Man is a Hong Kong–based designer and contemporary artist whose practice is rooted in the cultural lineage of Lingnan penjing. Her work weaves together traditional craftsmanship, contemporary design language, and cross‑cultural visual expression to explore continuity, regeneration, and spirituality within nature, materials, and form. Her pieces have been exhibited in Hong Kong and the United Kingdom, presenting new possibilities for traditional craft with a contemporary context.
She graduated from the Graphic Design at George Brown College and the Visual Merchandising Arts, Design and Textiles at Seneca Polytechnic in Toronto, Canada. With years of cross‑disciplinary design experience spanning product design, floral work, visual research, and installation art, she has recently focused on advancing the transmission and contemporary evolution of Lingnan penjing, repositioning this historically rich and aesthetically profound craft within international cultural spaces.
Raised in the family of Master Wong Chau Shing, a renowned Lingnan penjing artist, she was deeply influenced from an early age by her father’s love of nature. As a child, she often created miniature scenes and toys from the fallen branches and leaves trimmed from bonsai trees. These early experiences became the foundation of her creative practice, allowing the aesthetics, proportions, and spirit of penjing to naturally permeate her ceramic, fashion, and home‑design works.
Her father’s passing further deepened her commitment to the techniques and aesthetic philosophy she inherited. She continues to explore ways of interlacing traditional Lingnan penjing methods with contemporary materials, design vocabularies, and artistic concepts—creating works that embody continuity, symbolism, and cultural depth, allowing tradition to keep growing within new contexts.
As the founder of Shing Realm and the daughter of Master Wong Chau Shing, Kammy Wong carries forward her father’s guiding principle of “Life continuing beyond form” 「形止意續」Through placing tradition and renewal side by side, she expands the vitality and cultural resonance of Lingnan penjing through her own creative practice.
黃錦敏是一位常駐香港的設計師與當代藝術家，其創作以嶺南盆景為文化根基，融合傳統工藝、當代設計語彙與跨文化視覺語言，探索自然、材料與形態之間的延續、再生與精神性。其作品曾於香港及英國展出，呈現傳統工藝在當代語境中的新可能。
她畢業於加拿大多倫多喬治布朗學院平面設計系，以及聖力嘉理工學院視覺行銷、設計與紡織品學系，擁有多年跨領域設計經驗，涵蓋產品設計、花藝、視覺研究與裝置藝術。近年，她致力推動中國嶺南盆景藝術的傳承與當代化，並在國際文化場域中重新定位這項深具歷史與美學底蘊的工藝傳統。
成長於嶺南盆景大師黃就成師傅的家庭，她自幼深受父親對自然的熱愛所薰陶。童年時，她常以修剪盆景時掉落的枝葉創作場景與玩具，這些經驗成為她創作的原點，使盆景的美學、比例與精神自然滲入她的陶瓷、服裝與家居作品之中。
父親的離世使她更加珍視所承繼的技藝與美學思維。她持續研究如何將嶺南盆景的傳統手法與當代材料、設計語言及藝術觀念交織，創作具有延續性、象徵性與文化深度的作品，讓傳統在新的語境中持續生長。
作為「成境」創辦人及嶺南盆景大師黃就成的女兒，黃錦敏承繼父親「形止意續」的理念，將傳統與新生並置，並以自身的創作實踐為嶺南盆景開拓新的生命力與文化延展。
