Set free!

This year, a big change in my works is the rim of vessels are left as they are, not cut straight.

My mind sees the beauty of the edges of a slice of nerikomi pattern, developed from the way the block of pattern was formed. 

 
Vessels with untempered rim looks more vibrant.

Collection Talk TO ME

 

New design survived firing !

A large opening like an ear that happily catches what you would like to say.
A bit tilting, an adjustment made to balance the weight of the work.
I made a small base shaped like a piece of cloud, may be someone somewhere is listening to you.
