TONIGHT Opening : Hanako Nakazato Exhibition 9/3-9/6

Hanako Nakazato
- Migration -
September 3rd Wed. – 6th Sat.
Artist Reception TONIGHT 6pm-8pm
Sara Japanese Pottery will present an exhibition of new ceramic work by Hanako Nakazao as the sixth in a series of events to celebrate our 25th years anniversary.
This exhibition will feature side-by-side works made in both of her studios, one in Karatsu, Japan and the other in Union, Maine. Like a migrating bird, Nakazato travels and works each year in two different countries. This regular shift between her native culture in Japan and her adopted culture in the USA infuses her work with elements at once familiar and foreign. The exhibition runs September 3, 2014 through September 6, 2014.
An opening reception will be held TONIGHT from 6-8pm.
A 14th generation potter from Japan, Hanako’s technique and philosophy are rooted in the ceramic traditions of Karatsu, Japan. But years spent living in the West has influenced her shapes and surfaces. She makes a wide variety of simple functional forms. Her work is carried in many galleries and shops throughout Japan and the US.
Nakazato expresses her philosophy as a potter saying, “Every day is different. Just like you change what you wear based on different seasons, occasions and your mood, I hope you enjoy the changes in everyday life through how you use pottery.”
