Bush Horizons
Finalist, 2022 ITAMI International Craft Exhibition, at the Itami City Museum of Art, History and Culture, from November 19 -December 25, 2022, Itami Japan.
These works respond to the theme of ‘Shuki Shuhaidai’. The surface of these O-choko (sake cups) are imprinted with Japanese Washi paper
and Capillipedium spicigerum (L) and Pteridium esculentum (R) which are a native grass and native bracken fern respectively found in Eastern Australia. I wanted to capture a sense of the bush and its dramatic colours and textures alongside the soft white icy texture of the silver, contemplating our horizons while enjoying sake.
