OBUJE - SEMIFUNCTIONAL FORM Emergent Sodeisha Lineage Japanese Ceramicists

Backwoods Gallery
Friday 26 MaySunday 11 June

Featuring: Rie Aizawa, Ion Fukazawa, Junpei Hiraoka, Jun Matsumura, Makiko Nagai, Namika Nakai, Tomoya Sakai, Masatomo Toi

The emerging generation of Japanese ceramicists infuses new narratives into a rich history and tradition of working with clay. Trained by Sodeisha lineage ceramicists, the ceramicists in this exhibition inherit the pursuit of technique and material experimentation as a means to express their relationship with clay. Within these boundaries, freedom to flirt with functionality and categorisation grants endless possibilities. This approach to making eludes tidy English labels of art, design or craft to invite a slower consideration of the objects. Within and beyond Western conceptions of art, the work is grounded by an innate obsession with materiality.
