If one day everything loses its color, what will it look like? The dancing butterflies are white, the colorful flowers are white, the fresh and juicy fruits are white, and they come and go in a hurry The pedestrians are white, and the whole world has become white. Whether this will return to purity or become boring will change according to everyones thoughts.
Hitomi Hosono, a Japanese-born potter who immigrated to the UK, uses the images of flowers, plants and other plants to layer white porcelain. Her creative inspiration comes from what she sees and hears while walking in the green spaces of East London: "I want to turn the leaves into The beauty and delicacy of the ceramics are integrated into my ceramic works, and I use them as my own language to tell new stories about the objects of my creation."
Hosonos creative technique is inspired by "Jasperware", a ceramic production method invented by the British ceramicist Josiah Wedgwood at the end of the 18th century, which achieves aesthetic effects by covering the original base with a thin ceramic relief. However, blue is better than blue. Hosonos works appear more three-dimensional and at the same time show the softness of plants. From a distance, they look like dense potted plants, but up close, you can feel the exquisite craftsmanship.
The production process of Hosono is quite time-consuming. Larger works take nearly a year and a half to complete. The most troublesome part is waiting for it to dry, which takes up to 10 to 12 months, so each work is very unique. precious.
