A dried-up cocoon

"As time dries, the surface crumbles, leaving only a faint trace of what once dwelt within."

Description: A spherical sculpture, a black drawing that permeates like a shadow. The thin film crumbles, giving the feeling of liberation from the cocoon.

By applying a white clay coating to the dried base, distinctive cracks and crumbles appear on the surface of the clay. The coloring is done by pouring powdered pigments over the pieces, and the use of fixing agents is kept to a minimum to preserve the pastel graininess, so the color fades over time. These are intentional expressions, and we hope you enjoy them as "scenery reflecting the passage of time and weathering."

Shipping: We will ship your order within one week of receiving it.

Handling: Over time, the texture may change, peeling, or fading may occur, but please understand that this is part of the artist's style. The pieces are protected with a varnish to prevent the pigments from fading, and many are coated with a water-repellent coating. However, as cracks, peeling, and other characteristics of the artist's style take priority, please avoid using them with water and enjoy them as objects that stand in a natural space.
We have tried to make the texture and color of the works in the photographs as close to the actual product as possible, but please note that the appearance of the work itself will change slightly depending on the viewing location and lighting, so the color may appear in a single situation.
If you have any questions about the work or would like to request additional photos, please feel free to contact us.

Description A form modeled after a sphere, with black drawings that seep like shadows. In its fragile, crumbling membrane, one senses a quiet release from the cocoon.

By a white slip onto a thoroughly dried applying clay body, the surface reveals distinctive cracks and crumbled textures. The powdered pigments are poured in a wash technique, leaving behind a pastel-like granular tone. To preserve this delicate particle quality, fixatives are minimally used—thus, gradual fading will occur over time. This fading is an intended part of the work, inviting you to appreciate it as a “landscape reflecting weathering and the passage of time.”

Handling & Care Over time, the piece may undergo changes in texture, peeling, or discoloration—these are integral aspects of its expression. Each work is protected with a varnish to slow pigment fading, and most are treated with a water-repellent coating. However, as the aesthetic prioritizes cracks and surface fragility, please avoid filling it with water. Enjoy it as an object of still presence within space, rather than as a functional vessel. While every effort has been made to capture the work's true color and texture in photographs, subtle variations may appear depending on the lighting and environment in which it is viewed.
