Twenty-seven identical cubes, each placed in a different part of the kiln, each born with its own singular experience within the flames resulting in each being completely unique from the others with different colors, textures and scars akin to humans, who, despite having disparate backgrounds, differing races, creeds and genders, coexist together. The 27 pieces (individuals) harmoniously support each other, stack up, and together form a large but fragile world of 27 'Peaces' (peace). Perhaps this very interdependence is what peace truly is. Assembled as a cube it is collectively 6 x 6 x 6 cm (2-1/2 inches) and is in perfect condition directly from the artist.
Fujimoto is inspired by the natural world around him, and the return to nature of the discarded and redundant remains of our civilization. Fujimoto Hide was born in the heart of Shigaraki in 1954, and was fascinated with the medium from a very young age. He worked in several potteries and industrial positions for a decade from 1973, always furthering his understanding of firing technique and glazes, followed by a decade of firing and sculpting, culminating in establishing his own kiln in the forests of Shigaraki in 1995. His work has been picked up by many of Japan’s preeminent galleries including several private exhibitions with Kuroda Toen in Ginza, the Togei no Mori Museum in Shiga, and just recently an exhibition in Taiwan.
