taizo kuroda
"a shape derives from the moment formlessness encounters form"
- Nobuhiro Yamaguchi
White Porcelain of Taizo Kuroda
"Now, in serene seclusion − but near the peak of his career −
he lives in a house built of cedar and cypress, with plain white walls,
pure, simple and edited like his ceramics,
surrounded by trees and bamboo, looking over Sagami Bay,
and works in his next-door studio, just as ordered and uncluttered."
- Michael Dunn

mandala custom shapes
these are some of the most beautiful boards we have ever seen
it would be a shame to put wax on them but
it would be more of a shame to not use them

monika
an anonymously produced arts journal
issue 1: the anon
"the artists and writers contributing to this debut issue were asked to submit work exploring the theme of anonymity. Their varied responses demonstrate that ambiguity is not devoid of personality."
of course, I liked it
