Illustrated is a detail shot
from the Furutani Michio hanging vase; though visible from the front of
the pot, this highlighted detail is a bit difficult to see in the photo that
was posted. The area surrounding the mouth is covered in a beautiful coating of jade colored ash culminating in a rich emerald
bidoro drip that is bigger than my thumbnail in size. It is easy to get lost in
the singular particulars of almost any object but it is all of these wonderful
pieces/parts that creates the entirety of a pot, like the myriad of pointillist
dabs and where would the LA PONT NEUF by Petitjean be without every last
detail?
"No art is good unless you can feel how it's put together. By and large it's the eye, the hand and if it's any good, you feel the body. Most of the best stuff seems to be complete gesture, the totality of the artist's body; you can really lean on it." Frank Stella
