Taliny Chhung is a ceramic artist and sculptor. Born in Reseda, California to a Cambodian father and Thai mother.
A visit to a Vedic Astrologer following a violent car accident in 2015 led her to pursue art. In 2018, she enrolled in a pottery class. Eschewing traditional methods, she took a Brookstone steak knife and began carving away.
Taliny’s work in ceramics began as an exploration of objects, what Taliny calls ‘flowers’. Her sculptural vessels and monumental planters, offer an array of material associations, ranging from meringue to manure. Her methods are additive and subtractive and her process is guided by instinct.
​
She works out of her studio at AMOCA in Pomona, California and lives in Los Angeles with her husband and three children.
