Kyoto-based ceramicist and sculptor Fukami Sueharu interrogates perspective in this piece that attempts to capture the horizon line where the sky meets the sea. Through the "seihakuji" medium, or blue-white celadon, color and form overlap to recall the behaviour of waves on a horizon line. The piece recalls the endless view of our oceans, where the boundlessness of the sea is intensified by its lack of linear perspective.


Fukami's perfectionism shines in this piece, wherein the smooth surface leaves no indication- whether that be fingerprints or firing imperfections- from the pottery process. The ceramic surface is cool to the touch, further emphasizing his lack of desire to show his own hand in his work: "Porcelain shows any marks left by the potter's hand and I want to leave the least amount of evidence that my hands ever touched the clay. Instead of the potter's obvious imprint, I want to leave the subtle mark of my heart or spirituality," as he has said.


京都在住の陶芸家・彫刻家である深見陶治は、空と海が交わる水平線を捉えようとするこの作品で、遠近感を問いかけています。青白磁という素材を通して、色と形が重なり合い、水平線上の波の振る舞いを想起させます。この作品は、無限に広がる海の景色を思い起こさせ、直線的なパースペクティブを持たないことで、海の無限性が強調されています。


この作品では、深見の完璧主義が際立っています。滑らかな表面には、指紋や焼成の不備など、陶器のプロセスを示すものが一切ありません。陶器の表面はひんやりとしていて、自分の手を汚したくないという気持ちが伝わってきます。"磁器には陶芸家の手の跡が残っていますが、私は自分の手が土に触れた痕跡をできるだけ残したくないのです。陶芸家の痕跡ではなく、私の心や精神性の痕跡を残したいのです」と語っています。
