About the Show:
Artistic skill is exemplified in
both shibori textile art and wood fired ceramics. Folding and stitching and manipulating
various cloth to resist dye, and using particular clay bodies to form pots, utilizes skills honed over years. Success is measured by the virtuosity of the
artist; yet the many variables of the dye pot and the wood burning kiln lend an
element of chance, a special magic to both pursuits. This is their strongest
appeal to artists and art enthusiasts alike.
This exhibition features these two art forms with contemporary examples
of shibori dyed cloth in various iterations and the bottle/tokkuri form often
used for sake, and offers the viewer a look at the fortuitous nature of both
ancient art processes.
