for 361° ceramic japan

Three flower vases made in collaboration with Ceramic Japan, a firm in Seto, an area in Aichi Prefecture historically known for its ceramics. The three forms make up a family: a heavyset ‘father’, a slim ‘mother’ and a smaller ‘child. Each vase looks like an ordinary vase from one direction. Viewed from the other side, however, each has its own ‘collar’. When we dress, our hair and clothing correspond to each other. These vases play on the similar relationship between the flower and the vase.The vases are unglazed white porcelain, for a clean, clothing-like texture.

这三个花瓶是与日本陶瓷公司合作制作的，该公司位于爱知县濑户市，该地区在历史上以陶瓷闻名。家庭由三种形态组成:体格魁梧的“父亲”，身材苗条的“母亲”和身材娇小的“孩子”。每只花瓶从一个方向看都像个普通的花瓶。然而，从另一个角度看，每一种都有自己的“衣领”。当我们穿衣服的时候，我们的头发和衣服是一致的。这些花瓶表现的是花和花瓶之间的相似关系。花瓶是未上釉的白瓷，质地干净，像衣服一样。
