Simcha Even-Chen, a clay artist living in Rehovot, Israel, has been an active ceramicist since 1996, in addition to being a Senior Scientist at the Medical School, Hebrew University, Jerusalem.

Her ceramic art works have been selected and exhibited at domestic and international exhibitions and have become part of both private and museum collections.

Simcha uses ceramics to investigate the elements of ambiguity and the dynamic of opposites. Ambiguity is expressed by exploring the ratio between mass, volume and balance.

She constructs simple, precise shapes to enclose and contain space. The works are slab-built, which gives the impression of solid and massive bodies, when they are, in fact, surprisingly light and delicate. In this contrast between appearance and reality, the relationship of the interior space changes, becomes intimate and creates an illusion of the object's instability.

The dynamic of opposites is expressed in a way that juxtaposes the precise and controlled building and graphic design of the ceramic work with the unpredictable firing technique of "Naked Raku".

The grid design used in her ceramic works is borrowed from the graphic millimetric sheets that were used in presenting scientific results.
