stills of rush 2019
I think that the world is made up of a fragile gathering of many slightly different small existences.
I express that by my work,which consists of connecting many small parts of clay.
After firing, clay becomes hard, and can not go back as a substance.
When I think about that, I feel the strength, persuasive, and beauty to ceramics.
Technically, I cut the thinly extended black clay into tiny squares with 0.5cm×1.5cm, put the white slip with a brush on each tiny square,
and then, joined lots of tiny squares with slip and made it box. I tried to make it as thin as possible. Finally, I fired it on 1230℃.

Basically same concept and technique as Work1.
Not only black and white clay, using red clay too, for this piece.
SIZE: W17cm D17cm H16cm

I have many flat pieces too, not only boxes.
Small flat pieces are for focus many different pattern and colors of clay.
