Seed by Gaku Nakane

Vessel / Minimalism Organic

Gaku Nakane. Vessel: Seed, 2023. Clay. 62 x 61 x 49.5 cm. The ancient technique of coiling has been used to slowly build up this volumetric double-walled vessel. Realized on an impressive scale, the work is both powerful and monumental, yet retains a sense of lightness and poise. White liquid slip was sprayed onto the surface and the vessel was then fired at 1250°C. The slip has a higher shrinkage rate than the bare clay underneath, resulting in cracks during firing. The cracks are later soaked with a black glaze, after which the vessel is fired again to subtly articulate the surface..
