Terunobu Hirata

Terunobu Hirata – Faceted Wave Vase, 2022

$660

My work process is that I initially determine the form (shape) and work on the glaze when it is in a completed shape of form. I transform the wheel thrown form when the form is firm like a leather by using various methods including faceting, fluting, pushing in and out, stretching, patting and carving.

'For over 50 years, I have lived in Australia after leaving my home country, Japan. The life in Australia has always reminded me of my origin as Japanese. My passions have been to express the emotions and feelings I have had through the life in Australia into my work. Tasks such as working with clay, throwing on the wheel and firing the kiln give me a sense of satisfaction through interacting with nature. They are a source of my inspiration although they can be distressing at times.'
