KE-5 (Recollected Vistas in Clay)
Kishi Eiko Japanese
Not on view
To make her ceramic slabs, Kishi Eiko crushes ten different pigments underfoot before kneading them with Shigaraki white clay. The Kyoto-based artist uses this kneaded clay to create precise forms whose surfaces she scrapes and carves to reveal the colored chamotte underneath. These delicate patterns appear as if they were stitched into the clay. Her forms range from large geometric objects to small covered vessels.
