Minimal Scale of Pots

I am continuing try to make minimal scale of pots. I made pots smaller than Friberg's one. However, the shapes is not beautiful and I could not control shapes perfectly. I think technical skill is very important for artists. This series need really high technical skill to make, it mean it is nice work to show my skill. I am going to continue practice to make smaller and higher quality pots.

Exploring New Action 1

   I explored new action to make new shapes.  I also rethink about process of making ceramic by exploring new action.

I drew pattern on the ceramic by using my tongue.



I threw bowls by using my feet. the shapes of bowls were different from bowls that made by using hands. Traces of feet are more powerful  than traces of hands.

Repeat of Action









In the videos, I repeat simple action (throw, hold in my mouth). 
The idea came from Brancusi's endless column. Repetition give us image of endless.

I find this project relate to Gutai that is Japanese art movement. Because they  explored relationship between objects and human body and made unique art pieces by eccentric actions.I want to develop this project by relate to Gutai.
