When working in special needs education, I had the opportunity to work with students who could not speak. I witnessed firsthand their intense expressions of emotion and realized the communicative power of the human touch. Touch most directly manifests \u201cexistence.\u201d Of the five senses, it is the quickest to develop; babies touch and lick everything they encounter and thereby first learn about the world around them. Touch is density, weight, warmth, even existence itself. These elements cohabit my mindscape, mingling and interacting. And from there, a \u201clump of feelings\u201d tumbles out.<\/p>\n

Clay is formed from weathered granite rock. An exposure to air, sunlight, snow, and rain breaks down the rocks surface slowly and continually and eventually decomposed into clay. A few years ago, my interest in clay guided me to pick up a book on ceramics by the author of one of my art school textbooks. In it, I came across a description of how granite from the Rokko mountains to Shigaraki formed our ceramic clay. Seeing this book brought me back to my student days when the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake hit my hometown and granite rock had protected my home from destruction. The connection between the material I had been using in my work and that which was beneath my feet all my life struck me deeply.<\/p>\n

In this series, I have fired rocks and clay together. This stems from my interest in textures and in the transformations that occur when firing materials that share the same origin. Rocks twist, crack and melt under extreme heat, changing their form during firing. In contrast, clay is soft and plastic. Flames give it the unique hardness and lustrous shine of the ceramic surface. By joining rock and clay into a single form and firing it together, we witness \u201cfracturing\u201d and \u201cchipping\u201d phenomena. While these have held a negative image within traditional ceramics, \u201crepairing\u201d them has brought forth positive impressions, in turn elevating the \u201cdamaged\u201d pieces\u2019 value. Lacquer is traditionally used in \u201cJapanese KINTSUGI, or gold repair,\u201d but I have used mica and re-fired the pieces to give them permanence in gold.<\/p>\n
