One's capacity [3]

As a definition of a vessel, I thought that one “bottom” corresponds to one “mouth,” and they are connected. Based on that definition, they are trying to create an unknown “vessel” by combining multiple porcelain parts entrusted with the role of the “mouth” and “bottom” of the vessel with knitted fabric (knitted using thinly cut knitted fabric and PP rope using a technique called basketry coiling) to connect them. Porcelain and cloth knitted fabrics contrast all of their characteristics and elements, such as material, texture, hard and soft, and whether they deform or not. By intricately intertwining two things that have nothing in common and are clearly contrasting, they create works that go beyond the presence or absence of simple uses, and pursue the fun of the vessel itself.

Also, since there are two pairs of “mouth” and “bottom” of the vessel, it also expresses the strangeness of the two vessels mixed together.

As I made it, I wanted to express the strangeness of when the “mouth” and “bottom” of a vessel were increased in two pairs. Also, since a color image source called “white bone” and “red meat” was incorporated from this work, an awareness was born that bone and flesh are combined to form a “body (= vessel).”
