This is the first solo exhibition in Shima City by artist Tetsuo Ishiyama, who lives in Shima City, Mie Prefecture. A wide range of exhibits will be on display, including his childhood field burning works, a variety of works from the 13 years since he began learning pottery, and a video work in progress, Tokiwo Tsumugu Monotachi, which will be shown for the first time.
``Tokiwo Tsumugu Monotachi'' depicts the process of entrusting pottery works inscribed with unique characters that only one can read to others in Japan and abroad, and the process of burying them underground.
This exhibition traces the trajectory of Tetsuo Ishiyama's conceptual and emotional confrontation with the fun of pottery.
