These raku cylinders by Sydney based artist Lia Klugman explore the intersection of control and chance through a traditional Japanese pottery technique. The cylindrical form provides a simple yet dynamic canvas for the unpredictable effects of fire and smoke. Each piece capturing the beauty of imperfection, embracing the wabi-sabi philosophy of finding grace in flaws and transience. Through these cylinders, Lia celebrate the interplay of earth, air, fire, and water, creating art that reflects the raw, transformative beauty of nature and the quiet acceptance of impermanence and unpredictability.
