Shio Kusaka's ceramic vessels articulate poetic connections, creating a cohesive and unique installation. "It's a striking effect--some pieces are bowl-shaped, others are cylindrical, a few have slim, sloping necks. Their linear arrangement suggests some kind of progression through time and space." --Document Journal While pulling inspiration and techniques from ancient Japanese ceramics as well as from popular culture and everyday life, Kusaka carves new language into her artwork. Employing various types of clay and firing methods, she experiments with line, color, and size to bring fresh life to the medium. This harmonious presentation is created from individual pieces and thematic groupings--similar in their materiality, hue, and display--resulting in an extraordinary, unified installation to be experienced in the round. With many detail images, this book provides a deep dive into Kusaka's incredible work one light year. Published after Kusaka's hugely successful exhibition at David Zwirner, New York, in 2022, this catalogue studies her singular installation from all angles.
