WEB EXHIBITION vol.014 “Cylinder”
[ 2015/10/26 (mon) 18:00 - 2015/11/29 (sun) ]
Brand new『Cylinder』series are here to go with the new added stock of Bol series.
Aoki has tried on a new different way to create these Cylinders on potter’s wheel.
With the wheel to directly show the small tender moves, he expressed this delicate wave of line at the very lip of each piece, which then also show the subtle texture of each clay and the movement of Aoki’s hand on wheel.
We have a variety from rich glazed works to minimal pieces with no glaze on.
How will you use them at your place?
