Wouldn't you like to hold one of Takuro Kuwata's ceramics in your hands? Okay, maybe some of them would be slightly disruptive to drink tea from, but as objects, as textures, as landscapes? They look like melted, crumbling surrealist dreamscapes, and I like that in a very small thing you can place in the palm of your hand.
"Using Kairagi-Shino, a method of firing in which pottery is removed from the kiln before the glaze completely melts, Kuwata coaxes his pieces to appear as if they are exploding from within, like otherworldly crustaceans shedding their shells" (T Magazine).
SUCH a fan of these! i have always loved! they are amazing! x
