Naho Kamata hammers sterling silver and aluminum metals to create everyday vessels, ornaments and other objects all by hand, without the use of machines. All of these works reflect her perspective and fine technique, which results in a unique, interesting appearance.
This exhibition theme is based on ‘tea utensils for daily use’, showing objects created by the request of A&S owner, Sonya Park. The selection includes teapots, teacups, water pots, tea spoons and a set of antique vessels melded with metal parts. Plates and spoons made from aluminum and other materials will also be on display. These metal tools change in appearance depending on how the owner uses them and how often they are used. We look forward to seeing you at the exhibition.
