This is a new body of work, which was made in request the owner of A&S, Sonya Park, who thought of the idea after seeing her teapots displayed at our previous exhibition ‘Objects to Boil Water.’ In addition to the teapot that was the source of the idea, there will be a collection of the artist’s signature cans, as well as a furnace stand.
We hope you will enjoy viewing Tomomi Nakamura’s metalwork, all made from a single sheet of metal, which is fired, beaten and hammered into shape designed with her unique sensibilities. We look forward to welcoming you.

PROFILE
Metalworker. Born in Saitama in 1981 and majored in interior design at the Musashino University of Art. She lived for three years in Tokoname, in the Aichi prefecture, where she encountered and drew inspiration from the diverse regional craftwork. She returned to Tokyo in 2008, where she first began exploring metalwork while also working at a design studio. In 2012, she moved to Nara and set up her workshop, devoting herself full-time to the craft of metalwork. The beautiful shapes that she forms by burning, tapping, and launching a single metal plate belie the simple tools of their making. Her pieces become more attractive with use and, over time, will show the influence of the user’s hand.
