Created from an exploration into space and memory, inspired by the nuanced color language of nature;
we create one-of-a kind pieces layered with emotion, narrative, and sentiment. While the form of an object may be universal, what creates meaning is the interpretation of the maker.
Inspired by traditional Japanese meals, our nesting Ichiju Sansai set celebrates the beauty of simplicity and balance. Unlike Western meals which privilege the individual dish, Ichiju Sansai honors a chorus of dishes working in conjunction to provide nutrition, history, and of course taste.
Born from a tradition of collecting ceramic pieces during travel, the first collection in the MATTER series is pulled from a series landscapes, personally visited and photographed by OWIU. These photos then serve as reference material for the meticulous glaze testing process resulting in a collection of abstract and evocative color palettes reflecting the ephemeral and ever-changing colors in nature.
