Artist Statement:
My basic and consistent
position in making pottery is
"facing tradition". Tradition,
although it presents itself as
rejecting people's
interference and intrusions,
is in fact the accumulated
"convention" of all the people
living in a specific period,
so it is possible, in any
period, for us to destroy or
reconstruct it. Tradition is
not fixed or immutable, and
the people who "create" it
live in the passing waves of
generations and in the
recurring certainty of
fatality. I consider the most
important aspect of this
fatality to be "otherness"
(not necessarily only of human
beings), and have observed
this aspect in the traditional
spirit of Japanese pottery.
The relation with the kiln as
a tool, with my materials,
with myself and with observers
-- the relation with "others"
-- involves intuiting the
margin that is to be shared.
For myselfas a
creator/presenter, the pursuit
of "otherness" amounts to
intuiting that margin....
