Fujikasa Satoko‘s stunning stoneware sculptures remind me of Richard Sweeney’s paper ones. Their free flowing forms are similar, and both artists imbue movement and vitality into their chosen mediums. One writer compared Satoko’s sculptures to soaring birds –– Sweeney’s are often compared to birds in flight –– or winds moving through a valley. I see meringue and sea foam. In both cases, it’s the movement that I’m drawn to, as though they’ve sprung from sky and sea.
