Inspired by the stone sculpture work of Isamu Noguchi and Barbara Hepworth, this piece was shaped into a form that resembles a carved stone fountain that would sit in a peaceful garden. The modified 'nerikomi' (kneading in Japanese) technique was used to combine the white and the dark clay, then the pinchpot technique and chiseling were used to achieve its final form. One small opening for a single flower or a branch. Rich dark chocolate glaze interior and drizzles out to the exterior. Fired at cone 10.

Born in Tokyo, raised in Singapore and Tokyo, and grew up in southern California. Moved to NYC in 1995 and returned to California in 2018. “My process of creating ceramic work is in some ways similar to that of creating architecture or designing products with the exception that I allow my pieces to have their own will. I let them be. The result is work that will remind you of something you’re familiar with, at the same time it proposes something new. My work is focused yet organic, robust yet sensitive, and as humans, it is at once simple and complex. For example, I like to leave clay raw after firing, adding glazes only when needed. And as in painting, I experiment with mixing glazes for unexpected texture and colors. Scratches, imprints, cuts, rips, drips, and brush strokes are intentionally present in my work. Much like in the improvisational music of Cecil Taylor where control and non-control, addition and reduction, are essential in bringing something closer to life.” “It starts with impressions I receive from things in the world. Things like the vast empty space in the sky, the shadows that cast upon bright painted walls, or the stream of rainwater sliding. I hear faint ripple-like music that may turn into a loud, hollow dropping noise while a piercing cry of a crow or the soothing whistle of a mockingbird could mix into an echo from above. Other times, I simply flip through the pages of vintage art books or find a particular scene from a movie, and there, suddenly, I discover intriguing colors and shapes that spark inspiration. I let these impressions sink in and they wander through my mind and naturally, ideas start forming. I take my pencil and draw quick sketches in my sketchbook and things take their course.”
