This abstract, elegant sculpture is handmade from two independent pieces of slip-cast porcelain, conjoined using glaze. The wave-like shape is inspired by the landscape of Nagae’s home town of Seto, Japan. During the main firing, the piece is draped and tapered with the help of gravity, creating an original, dynamic form.
