SPIKY SHELL BⅠ

A sake cup distinguished by a form said to be inspired by a seashell. Though colored in black and gold, it carries a subdued, understated elegance. Rendered in a single continuous stroke, no two are ever alike.

The SPIKY series deliberately approaches today's flattened way of seeing things with a sense of the foreign. It is distinguished by a form that seems to refuse being picked up at all.

The protrusions radiating outward 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.
