Didi NG Wing Yin is a wood artist based in Helsinki from Hong Kong. He centres on woodworking in unique sculptural furniture and crafts characterised by his distinctive carving techniques. The creative process emphasizes the true expression of the materiality in wood which seeks the balance between the essence of wood, the intuitive nature of craftsmanship, and conceptual exploration. Ng’s work is grounded in experimenting with innovative surface treatments and wood carving techniques. Instead of exerting strict control over the material to achieve a predetermined form and shape, he prefers to engage with the inherent qualities of wood, allowing its natural properties to guide the creative process and honouring the material’s intrinsic characteristics. His goal is to explore the genuine expression of wood, which he encapsulates in one word: Naturalness.
