Label TextFujino Sachiko began her art practice in fashion design and textile and later studied ceramics under the pioneering female ceramic artist Tsuboi Asuka. Drawing on her fashion design experience, Fujino manipulates clay as if folding and shaping fabric. This work from her recent series takes on an evocative floral form, inviting the viewer to think beyond petals and blossoms. The artist added elegant textures to the surface with matte slip sprayed through an airbrush. The gradations of grey inside those petal-like folds create interesting silhouettes.
