Arata Nagano
- Metalwork
- 1972 -
I use wazuku, which is Japanese iron from ancient times, and produce teakettles.
By applying traditional technology such as horobiki*, the loam mold casting process or iron smelted in a furnace, I aim at the creation of works incorporating modern concepts.
*A technique to make a mold by putting a mix of kneaded river sand and clay wash into a molding box, and pulling it around a wooden pattern.
