like Jackson Pollock

Jackson Pollock was an American Abstract Expressionist Painter.
I went to his exhibison at The National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo last Feburuary.
My guests I escorted at that time wanted to go there.
I didn't know him until that day.
But his exhibition was great!
The explanation about his life told me well about his emotional conflicts
and how he suffered form inventing his styles of painting
which should be different from former painters.

Look at His paintings!
Very crazy!!
He finally found out his way of painting.
He placed a piece of paper on the floor and painted.

BUT!!
I'm sorry.
Actually this way of painting has been used for Shyodo-Japanese calligraphy.
We sit on the floor and wirte with a brush.
This was also explained in Japanese at his exhibition at museum.

In spite of these explanations, his life and paintings remained in my heart.
Then I applied his method to my pottery!







I enjoyed doing this!
But I needed more spaces!!

This is another method.
At first, I dipped my pottery into glaze.








Then I did the same things like first 3 photos.






2 sets of plates!!

Then they were in fire.

Now I'll show you what happend!




This is the left set of plates.



This is the right set.






I'm very satisfied!!

Before these sets, I made another set and presented to my best friend.






She loves them!!

I love making things and presenting them.
I'm happier when the person who recieves my gift will be happy!
I love to see people smile!!
