Kazumi Ikemoto, Scene 0402, 2004. 16 x 16 x 16?. (Poole & comments) ?This is probably the most imaginative piece we have collected. It seems like a fairy tale as you move around the piece. Kazumi?s artist statement is as follows: ?In my work I use imaginary half-man, half-beast creatures in scenes vaguely reminiscent of something you have seen before. I depict a hazy world of chaotic memories where reality and fantasy intersect, where the past and the present co-exist.? Alice Chappell of the former Chappell Gallery described his process ?Kazumi creates his work by blowing layers of powdered glass enamel onto the surface of the vessel, one color at a time. Once the layer is on, his uses a subtractive method whereby he eliminates what he does not want. After firing he repeats this process several times.?? Signed by the artist.
