SPIKY EIGHT 0620-XX

The SPIKY series deliberately approaches today's flattened way of seeing things with a sense of the foreign. Among these works, this piece is made as an octagonal tumbler.
A piece using red and gold that carries simplicity within its splendor.

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.
