Each work reflects the interior and exterior journey that led to their creation. Izumita relies on the salt-rich clay of the Iwate prefecture in the Tohuku region of Northeast Japan, known for its harsh weather. Izumita smooths the clay with his hands, embracing only the quiet sound of his tools in motion as he meditates on his creation. The dry result is a multi-dimensional surface full of possibilities aligned with the earth's natural landscape.
