[004] Serendipity 'An Accidental Pleasure' Rounded Bowl
Size : H6.7 Ø7.9 (cm)
Each piece is hand-thrown.
The textures and the intensity of the colours of the glaze vary slightly, as each piece is positioned individually in the kiln, and subtle temperature differences affect the final outcome. Some vessels may have small dots or blemishes from the clay, glaze, or firing process.
When the glaze runs down or reaches the bottom, it requires the hard labor of sanding and polishing to refine or reshape the glaze drips. Tiny scratches may occasionally appear during this process. Each piece is carefully inspected, and the maker considers these marks as part of the work.
The maker considers this piece a small artistic object and intends for the audience to appreciate it as an artwork, rather than use it functionally.
*Serendipity – An Accidental Pleasure is a series of works characterised by unexpected colour variations caused by partial oxidation.
A few years ago, Jaejun’s perspective on these pieces shifted—from viewing them as uncontrolled failures to recognizing them as naturally given gifts. Now, with a deeper understanding of the kiln and firing process, he has identified areas within the kiln where these accidental pleasures tend to occur. He intentionally places certain pots in these spots, hoping for results marked by unpredictable and unique variations.
