Description

The artist makes each part separately and assemble them into a candlestick. The round components are made by hollowing out a lump, and the square components are made by assembling a sheet of clay. The inside is hollowed out so the artwork can also function as a vase. The glaze is a lowering degree glaze over a shrinking glaze.

ARTIST STATEMENT
The environment of Karuizawa, where Ricca Okano’s studio is located, affects the background of the creation of her works. Inspired by volcanoes, fog, forests and their ecosystems, changing clouds and light, she transforms them into shapes and colors. Then, she adds to it the emotion of the moment. Scenes picked up from the present, past and future time frames are blended, like coffee beans, projecting layers of dripped consciousness.
