SPIKY ROCK CUP

The SPIKY series, said to deliberately approach today's flattened way of seeing things with a sense of the foreign and unfamiliar.
An exquisite piece whose expression shifts each time, with the interplay of light and viewing angle.

Its form seems almost to refuse being picked up.
The "studs" jutting out from the vessel make visible and tangible a force inherently latent within an object. The result is a powerful expression, as if the hidden strength within had burst out onto the surface.

Ceramics, a traditional craft nurtured over a long history. Koga intends, by introducing a stimulus in form, to give the person holding it a fresh sense of surprise.
