Microscopic Designs for Ceramics by Japanese Artist



I love design that is a little different and recent RCA graduate Ikuko Iwamoto’s ceramics work does this with sculptural forms that depict microscopic structures.

Ikukoi

Her collection of abstract objects and tabletop vessels come to life with spikes, tentacles, and spores, bringing visibility to an otherwise invisible world. Iwamoto takes direct inspiration from the microscopic universe - “a world of intricacy and detail, of mathematical pattern and organic chaos, of beauty and repulsion.”

From her website, she states:

“I make exquisite cups and other objects for a bizarre tea ceremony.
They suggest the everyday, the ordinary, but are in fact extra-ordinary .
They are the vehicle to make visible an invisible, microscopic world.
A world of intricacy and detail, of mathematical pattern and organic chaos, of beauty and repulsion.”
