Hattori Makiko b.1984
Hattori hand builds the basic form of clay, decorating it with numerous thin frilled porcelain petals attached to the body, through a constant and repetitive process of filling in the clay surface with these frilled petals.
The outcome is a large simple pot shape embellished with a soft curvilinear frilled outline. These white or yellowish white clay forms embrace a contrast between light and shadow created by the frilled surface , endowing the shape with a tranquil powerful presence.
