In Focus: Modern Japanese Folk Ceramics

August 8 - October 30, 2016 - Richly introduced in this exhibition are works by ceramic artists emerging in the late 1960s and the early 1970s in the town of Mashiko, two hours north of Tokyo by train. Fascinated by the simple aesthetic, the craftsmanship, and the makers’ unassuming personalities and ways of life, Holmes visited many kiln towns to photograph and interview the artists and collect ceramic wares of various shapes and techniques.
