Outline makes space?? It comes from camera effect.

V&A- Japanese ceramics

I visited V&A to see Japanese ceramics for making sure of my latent sense as a Japanese. I might have a prejudice in favour of Japanese ceramics, but I think it showed evidently unique beauty in comparison with others. Before all things, I could see them for long time without boring. The rolling surface, texture of clay and thickness of glaze, flaw, dripping,,,, even very small changes on the surface, for me, these are real beauty which combined boldness and delicate. The strong sense of touch was exciting, also comfortable at the same time.

It was surprising to see Lucie Rie!! I still remember its empty inside space.

I've never seen such a beautiful space cut out by thick carved lines!

I just like it. lovely bottles.

This pattern may be relevant to my work. It reminds me of chocolate!

Deep green colour.

Essay topic...

My work is painting which want to use and focus on gravity and feeling of weight. I watched naturally running water and feel beauty in it. That reminded me of Japanese delicate sense in terms of relation between making use of gravity(nature) and creation of beauty.
Moreover, I remember what my professor said in lecture in my university in Japan. That was generally western people have conquered nature in their garden, but Japanese have coexisted with nature in their garden. So I started to read a book: Japan-Nature, Artifice and Japanese culture written by Augustin Beroue.

Study support touter recommended artists whose method are dripping and staining.
-Helen Frankenthaler
-Morris Louis
-Clyfford Still
But I feel they are little bit far from my idea. But Morris Louis seems to be relevant to my work.

I've been questioning about painting itself for long time. Especially I'm really interested in depth,
expanse of space and illusion in painting. I've seen many paintings and I found that paintings
which have perspective or depth spoke to me. It is because I like to feel spread of space.
