This series isolates hand-cut nerikomi clay blocks, capturing the rhythmic patterns created by layered pigments as they’re sliced, stacked, and rearranged. Shot like geological samples rather than ceramics, the work focuses on the tension between precision and imperfection, where every fracture, ripple, and exposed seam reveals the manual process behind the material. Alternating backdrops and lighting setups shift the mood from archival to sculptural, allowing the clay to behave less like a craft object and more like an abstract form caught between stone, fabric, and paint.
