Monumental Vessel

Creator: Yuji Ueda
Offered by: Moderne Gallery

Description
Through his experimentation with firing techniques, Ueda has created a unique process in which he employs whole blocks of Choseki feldspar or builds up irregular clay surfaces that can be fired in anagama kilns. Ueda plays with the infinite possibilities of his chosen medium. The surface of his sculptures blister, crack, and peel, like some kind of reptile shedding its skin. Ueda’s work can be read as a celebration of wabi-sabi (the acceptance of imperfection, impermanence, and the incomplete), and the storied history of ceramics.
