Elegant petals, scalloped fans, and seed-like textures coat the Kaori Kurihara<\/a>\u2019s whimsical ceramic sculptures (previously<\/a>). She incorporates delicate botanical details with eccentric forms, melding realism with fiction. “I try to associate imaginary plants with a more realistic feeling, so I observe more consciously the environment in which they grow,” Kurihara tells Colossal. She also\u00a0grows different types of plants from seed in order to observe and record details as they grow. “The aim is to create something that looks more alive and closer to life,” she adds.<\/p>\n

Kurihara’s work is featured in the forthcoming book Ceramic Artists on Creative Processes, <\/em>scheduled for release in February from Prestel. Pre-order your copy on Bookshop<\/a>, and explore\u00a0more on the artist’s website<\/a> and Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n
