Artists

Makiko Hattori
This artist's works are white or black oblong or disc-shaped 50cm-square ceramic objects completely covered with thousands of tiny frilly clay fragments, originally 1x3cm in size. The objects give off the impression of being creatures that have puffed out their fur. It has only been a year since this artist started creating these original works that were actually an outcome of a graduate school project. The artist, who was initially attracted to the soft expressions that ceramics allow, says she feels like she is being sucked into the dimple in her pieces as she glues on each frill. Viewers on the other hand can feel a powerful vibrancy and richness from her carefully crafted works. 5 works will be on display.
