I think of my work as trying to convey a deeper meaning regarding the human nature. Through handbuilding, I have tried to express this fragility, in the unpredictable nature of the raku firing process and the under-the-surface layer by layer stripping away of my three-part handbuilt head series, Layers. By creating these heads, each depicting a different layer of the human face, I attempt to spotlight the connection between every individual regardless of race, background, or social status.
THE FOLLOWING is an attempt to gauge just how long it will take to complete the third of the Layers series, Vanitas. There will be no fussing over shape of eyes and nose this time around, nor any pouty lips and proportionate ears to worry about. However, as I'm completely and totally unfamiliar with the bones of the face, I will certainly need to allot time for miniature models. At least I can find comfort knowing that the two weeks I spent making the hair on Keita Head no.1 is a sizeable chunk of time I can subtract from his skull.
