The grain of wood

This vessel, part of the ink-and-wash painting series, reinterprets traditional Korean white porcelain in paulownia wood. Crafted on a wood-turning lathe, the piece features a smooth, ivory-white surface contrasted by charcoal-grey gradients. The visual effect of ink spreading across paper is made with a unique carbonisation technique to evoke the aesthetics of ink-wash paintings.
