Ceramic artist Keiko Masumoto created a series of traditional ceramic vessels merging with wriggling octopuses. Keiko Masumoto studied ceramics at the Kyoto City University of Arts and took part in the artist-in-residence program at Philadelphia’s University of ARTS. “Whether art or craft, I want to offer work that is intensely consciousness of that category, that framework, to explore what I myself felt,” said the artist.
I can’t make sense of what any practical functions of this set of teaware has, but I know it’s really hard to make 🙂
