Ximi (b. 2002, Fujian, Fuzhou) is an multidisciplinary artist based in Boston and Brooklyn. Her practice spans ceramics, oil painting, and digital fabrication. She’s interested in marks of humanness around her in the forms of temporary imprints on skin and walls, habits we inherit from old friends, objects we carry when we move, and flavors we prefer. These observations have shown up as translucent paintings, vending machines that dispense bells, and ceramic vessels.
