                                                    Izumita Yukiya transforms clay into forms that evoke the delicacy of paper in his sculpture Sekisoh, a title meaning "lamination" or "accumulated layers." His process begins with the manipulation of paper—folding, bending, and twisting it in a manner reminiscent of origami. To create each layer, he places a sheet of wet Japanese washi paper onto a thin acrylic board and presses clay onto it until it reaches the desired thinness. Once the clay dries, the paper is peeled away, leaving a coarse, textured surface. Izumita draws inspiration from weathered, corroded, and dried textures, which he sees as embodying a timeless quality—a suspended moment where something seems on the verge of disintegration but remains intact. 
Izumita is a leading ceramic artist from Japan, regularly participating in multiple exhibitions domestically and abroad, including participating in numerous shows here in New York city.
