Meaning of Making Miniature Pots

 When I began, I was inspired by the miniature pots made by the Swedish potter Berndt Friberg and made similar miniature pots. But I had no understanding of nor could I describe why I found this approach so interesting. Initially, the most important point of my research was understanding the idea of miniatures and improving upon Friberg’s work.

  I came to understand the meaning of making miniatures through the practices for the past two years. Miniature series also relate to the issue of the relationship between artists’ bodies and their works. It is a challenge to test the limits of what a human body can make on such a small scale. The different point of this concept from the first stage when I imitated Berndt Friberg is that it is not about making small pots but challenging the limits of a small scale.

 I am going to continue to try to make the smallest pots I possibly can.
