Reposted from @blumandpoe On view until October 23 at Blum & Poe Los Angeles — an exhibition of ceramic sculptures by Chiba, Japan-based artist Kazunori Hamana alongside works made in collaboration with fellow artist Yukiko Kuroda.    After the vessels are fired, Hamana places them outside of his studio for the natural elements to mark and transform, determining their final form. Irregular and imperfect in shape, and sometimes imbued with geometric shapes and abstract symbols, his pots resemble ancient terra-cotta objects that were hidden in the soil for ages.    Hamana collaborates with Kuroda on vessels that undergo the process of kintsugi (the art of repairing broken pottery). Kuroda’s home was previously a local farmer’s and still hosts a variety of abandoned farming materials, many of which find their way into her kintsugi practice, such as traces of bamboo baskets or antique paper. She also marks Hamana’s pots with remnants of rice grain harvested from his organic rice fields, leaving strong lines and adding new visual landscapes. Each pot is treated as an individual entity with specific needs. Accepting that repair might not be the solution in some cases, Hamana and Kuroda’s collaborations embrace each unique narrative, and the natural flow of the life cycle which is transient and impermanent.    Image: Installation view, Los Angeles, Photo: Dan Finlayson.     #KazunoriHamana #YukikoKuroda @kazunorihamana @yukiko_krd
