Current Exhibition
On the Axis: Works by Kota Arinaga and Kiyoko Morioka -
-
Kota Arinaga is fascinated by archaeology and expresses the magnificent time axis of textiles through glass.
As a Japanese person born at the tip of the Orient, how can he reconstruct the glass originally introduced through the Silk Road?
Like spinning a thread, colored glass is stretched and thinned, then the base material is instantly transformed into blown glass in a flame.
Kiyoko Morioka is attracted to the cloudy sky of Kanazawa and projects this endless gradation of gray onto porcelain.
She wonders how she can preserve the original matte and soft texture of porcelain before it is covered with glaze.
Sheathing the porcelain, smoking it with rice husks, searing it, then oxidizing it by smoke-firing, she creates a pattern on the surface.Arinaga's glass plays with the moment, yearning for the grandeur of time, while Morioka's porcelain is smoked over time,
dreaming of the sky that changes moment by moment.Both artists face the materials as if manipulating the time axis, and never stop their journey to delve into the roots of their own birth.
What kind of new time axis will be born when the works of these two artists resonate with each other?
