While working at my art in England, I realised that I felt strongly identified with some of the traditional Japanese philosophies, specially “Wabi-Sabi”, which is a world view centred on the acceptance of transience and finding beauty in imperfection, and like to observe the effects of time and the elements of the nature over the objects who give them an imperfect beauty.
Created this white texture glazing inspired by a recipe from of Japanese traditional glazing technique. I have created my own recipe adapted to my own style and named this glazing “White Moss” for the white textured glaze. My transparent beige glaze is called “hai”.
The bowl is created with layers of different glazes and textured clay which made unique reactions, thickness, bubbles and cracks on the surface.
