Box of Air – Small Pewter (OUT OF STOCK)

Description

I am a Small Pewter Box of Air. The best advice I have received is to not keep everything boxed in. I feel much better when I air things out.

Curator’s Notes

The void is one of the main five elements in Japanese Buddhism, representing spirit, thought and creative energy. It serves as a crucial inspiration in Ando-san’s ceramics, which is exemplified in Box of Air. This beautiful, hand-shaped ceramic piece features open walls that plays with the distinction of indoor/outdoor space. Glazed in pewter, the box will develop a natural patina and age gracefully over time. Its dark tone and organic shape make for a nice contrast on a shelf or in a still life scene.
