Items in this set
-
Ash-Glazed Bowl
Fired for four days in a wood kiln; the green runs are wood ash that melted into glass on the rim. -
Black Vessel
The glaze breaks to rust on every edge. Mori calls this the vessel's way of showing where it has been touched. -
Leaning Arch
Carved from a single cedar log that fell across the Wrenfield road in the 2020 windstorm. -
Moon Jar
A round white jar slightly out of round, as moon jars should be. The glaze pooled warm where the kiln was hottest. -
Pair of Cups
Made for the museum's tenth tea evening and then kept: one cup is a little taller, for the host. -
Seated Figure
A figure reduced to the weight of sitting: no face, no hands, just a body letting a chair take it. Reyes-Whitfield cast it from a carving in cedar. -
Tall Vessel, Celadon
Mori throws her tall forms in two sections and joins them while the clay is soft; the seam is the faint ring at the shoulder. -
Weight and Counterweight
Two steel plates leaning on each other, each keeping the other up. It stands in the museum garden and has rusted to the color of the hills.
