2-D to 3-D aesthetic

This group of Ceramic artists inspire me for their ability to speak to a painterly/drawing like 2-D aesthetic within their 3-D Ceramic sculptural work. Expressive, colorful, strong line quality...Asian influence or inspiration. These artists all have captured a freshness that also has a sense of control and believability. Their work is narrative but also abstract and dreamlike. It resonates on an emotional level. Why is it not in 2-D? Why do these need to be clay? How does it being clay strengthen all of these aspects of the work? Thats what I am asking myself....
