Yoichiro Kamei: Lattice receptacle
The Lattice receptacle series comprises artworks that use porcelain lattice structures as fundamental forms.
A piece is constructed by the accumulation of base units (cubic hollows), which are formed using a slip casting technique. From this production method of unit accumulation derives geometric and formative aesthetics that give space the capacity to exist in density. The internal space that is opened by the lattice structure becomes a device to receive light, and together with the permeability of porcelain it emphasizes the aspect of light and shadow.
