LOVE THE MATERIAL

Satomi Ito

　I have an image in my mind that had inspired my woek.
That is, the memory of the place where I used to play when I was a child.
 If I close my eyes, I can still see the floating grass floating on the surface
of the water and the water plants awaying along the flow of the river.
 In every piece that I create with my hands, I recreate the essence of this
scene while remembering 
this cherished place that I keep deep in my heart.

“Regeneration”
I'd like to capture the beauty that is often overlooked in everyday life. 
It's already surrounded by a lot of beautiful worlds now.
With that in mind I'd like to exhibit that in my work. 
This time I want you to experience the profound metal characteristics in the
color and the variations in the world.

Most of the ideas of my works are inspired by the mysterious life forms in the
nature. These works also got inspiration from the organic life forms that have
been selected the shape for the purpose of connecting their lives to the next
generation. In order to express those images, not only of the entire form but
also the texture of the surface is an important element for my piece. 
Therefore, seeking out the appropriate texture is a significant process of my 
works. At the time, I try to find a technique that is completely different from 
jewelry making, these pieces are also using the technique of tie-dyeing which 
is one of the textile-dyeing technique. I hope that you will be able to imagine 
some of the plants from which the organic shapes are expressed in resin and 
metal.

”Moment”
I am fascinated with the flash motion of fish,
Scales sparkling  when the fish waves its body,
Fins flying in water as tracing the body movement,

Passion to express the momentary  beauty and vitality of fish, 
Facing my desire to shape my passion brought this crafted fish.
It's my own answer.

“ASOBIGUSA”　
By communicating with materials sincerely, we can understand their hidden 
characters.

I always talk to the materials as “friends” (= the meaning of  “ASOBIGUSA”), 
listen to them as they respond to me, and give them a hand to grant their wish.

My artwork, a series of jewelry, freely represents the concealed "softness" of 
the metal and their spontaneous movement, through the original "cutting"
technique.

“Form for the color of flame”
I began making ceramic work in my boyhood. At the beginning ,my motive is the
form I imagined, I made. Gradually, I attracted by the beautiful change by firing.
Today, I investigate harmony between the beauty and my expression.
Recently, I investigate “Hiiro” (the color of flame). It is a kind of traditional
beauty of ceramic, orange color developed by flame of wood kiln without graze
or pigment. It is just the color of flame and the line of flame. In this work, I
imagined if the color developed on manufactured forms, and selected some
forms by my sense of beauty for the frame. Wood kiln gives me various beauty
even same form in same time. I try to find firing beauty, and hope to share the
delight with you!

“Messages from the memory”
Dreams are hallucinations seen during a shallow sleep. Dreams are based on 
information that is received through vision and that is why we have the 
expression of "see a dream". 
Some dreams are funny, some dreams are scary, some are memories from 
the past. Dreams show us different worlds. There is one dream that is very 
different from others. The dream is so shallow that you are not sure whether 
you are awake or asleep. It is a dream that your brain sees right when you 
are about to fall asleep. This dream is nothing like fun and you do not even 
know what it presents. It is like an image seen through a kaleidoscope, it has 
no shape.
It is kind of scary. I did not like the dream. I would see it when I was tired, sick, 
or when I could not fall asleep. Every time I saw this dream I tried to wake up 
and open my eyes.
I could not describe the dream and that made me frustrated. Then I realized 
that, instead of trying to describe the dream by words, I should express it by 
creating it with my hands. Gradually I became more and more interested in the 
dream and it started to influence my work.
Little by little, swirling, the shape started to change. Increasingly every day, 
the dream reshaped my art. I would like to make people sense the world of the 
strange dream.

“Hand made Hand”
'Touch'.
The craftwork brings us closer together.
The initial interest grows into something else; no longer a user, you are now in
need of expressing something.
You now see how beauty and utility can combine into something new and 
delicate.

One object can possess the possibility to change a person's life,habits , 
thoughts , behavior.
This will be an ongoing process; the object will gradually meld itself into the 
'' user '' over time.

Born in 1991 in Kanagawa.
Started making works with painting , calligraphy , music and ceramics since 
childhood.
After graduating Tama Art university( major in ceramic ), she had had her 
works presented  in exhibitions in Tokyo, London and NY.

“tayutafu”
 My research theme is "Formation and Decoration with Ceramics and  Lacquer". 
My work is a combination of porcelain and lacquer bringing the two materials 
together. I think that the beauty of the lacquer surface, highlights the feeling 
of the texture of the soil that is contained in pottery. At the same time, the 
contrast with porcelain highlights the beauty of the lacquer surface.

Mafune Gonjo

Nothing in this world can last forever, everything is changeable and fleeting. 
The sense of pain lurks in every lovely thing. It is not easy to understand 
even ourselves and we struggle in ambiguity. 
While walking from nowhere to nowhere, it always gives me energy and relief 
to meet with something new and nostalgic at the same time. It can be a 
landscape, ruins and old weathered buildings or a work of art. Through my art, 
I aim to create a space in which viewers experience this feeling-encountering 
something in between memory, afterimage, the unknown and the future. 

Mafune Gonjo was born 1984 in Japan. She moved to Sweden 2008 and 
took a Master Degree at Konstfack (College of Arts, Crafts and Design) in 
Stockholm. After one year of project program at the Royal University of Fine 
Art 2010-2011, she started working as a freelance artist.
 Mafune is based in Stockholm, exhibits and works in different cities all over 
the world; Stockholm, Paris, London and main cities in Japan and USA. She 
has a collection in the National Museum of Stockholm and the Museum of 
American Glass in New Jersey, USA.

Aine Miyoshi

When I was a little girl, I started out in my life looking up to my mother, 
the copperplate engraver. Her art work was very attractive and lifelike 
and made viewers happy. Enjoying her works, I wished I could creat lovely 
masterpieces like hers. Then, I decided to enter an art university, craft 
department glass course.
 I remember that I had an experience blowing glass at trial class in glass 
atelier in my childhood. I saw my molten glass inflatting into a bubble 
with my breath. I enjoyed so much looking at such a moment. Some 
other techniques to manipulate molten glass also made me excited. It 
looked like the glass was living. I think this is the positive point of glass 
art. This childhood memory leads me to think glass art would help me to 
express my emotion. 
The moment of inflatting molten glass into a bubble looks like a living 
creature. In my opinion, such a molten glass living creature can be saved 
even if it is cooled glass. I was wondering how could I show people that 
glass looks alive. Then, I came up with creating my art work in the motif 
of animals. It would help me to make more animated creation. I always 
feel excited to make my art pieces. I also hope I can make someone happy 
from now on too like my mother did.

Natsuki Katsukawa

“Specimen of shape”
I use the organic look of glass material, in order to express grotesque and 
strange living thing.  Motif of my work is protest, fungi, plants, insects, et 
cetera, primitive living thing than mankind.  Their ecology was made to 
feel the life force and biological diversity to me.  I want to express those 
in my works.

“bulging　color”
This blown glass was formed in the shape in which you can see the flow or 
gradation of colors mare beautifully and attractively.
By making it a fogged glass after shaping, the surface of the glass doesn’t 
reflect and the light is slightly transparent.
And so the line of the shaved edge accentuates the colors effectively.

“Sequence”

“infinity ocean”
When I was doing textile work,I noticed that there are good,difficulty and joy in
mechanical work and handwork each other.
Color mix can form and by chance in the wool, braided the quirky yarn,
embroidery 
I felt the fun of yarn and fiber to dynamic freely .
I'm thinking the charm of a textile that smiw in the infinity ocean can be 
expressed by the technique 
which can be made only me.

 Gloss and its pattern of lacquer is very suits to my modeling.
 Japan is often considered as the paint on the wood. However, my work is 
not painted japan in wood. First, I created a prototype with water clay, make

“Calligraphy bag”   “Practice”
My interest is itself in the "man" center.
Something in which I show an interest is how did one exist in the flow in time, 
and what was experienced and spent.
The memory, history, something to think and surround oneself and the 
environment.
A work is "keepsake" and is important "branching" for me.
I make the close landscape of the daily life, the spirit state of that case and 
surrounded air reflected as art.
That's the memory through which I lived, and the meaning to make the role 
as the witness and the exhibit make is here.
I think it's the try to find an existence value and a raison d'etre in concerning 
with society through a work as the person who aims at art.
The production is funny and sincere modestly. Work production is also study 
as a life is study.

To veil or to disclose your nakedness.

which are two sides of the same coin.
Such a outlook on the world lies hidden in the work.

“MIMÉTISME”
"MIMÉTISME" is the series of the leather bag that featured delighting the visual
sensation of people, is not shackled with functionality.
After seeing this beauty of the three-dimensional molding, it makes you get the 
urge to touch it by hand accidentally.
And I pursued beauty of a color gradation by the hand dyeing.
We always imitate something  while existing.
We always follow someone or something, renew ourselves.
Anyone wants more beautiful things.
From such a thought, I featured the insects that wish for being more beauty by 
dint of fluttering as a butterfly.

“Land”
A stone rolls in the river. In a flow to be able to never go against, the stone rolls. 
By the wye, while clashing with other stone, and being hurt, and curling up, and 
being broken; before long to the sea. In that time, I think like totally one life.

“iPS parts~lung”
In the course of sending the daily life, or feel the fear unexpectedly, there is a 
moment to feel a sense of uncomfortableness.
It is also the development and high-speed technology too, I think that's the
kind of discomfort that occurs from the analog nature of the human beings 
that do not keep up with the speed of the change.
And, at the moment when the mismatch of such inexplicable sensation occurs, 
you may feel the mysterious presence behind them.
I, such, embody the presence to be generated from human emotions and ideas, 
and have been expressing by the three-dimensional modeling a part of human 
body and the mysterious creature as a motif.
