THE SCULPTURAL NARRATIVE
“Alchemist-potter Tenshin Juba creates modern earthenware and stoneware in a highly rhythmic manner, letting the raw sourcing of his materials remain dictated by the natural cycles of his landscape. This striking Bud Vase Jardinière No. 22 balances pure kinetic gestures with intricate, low-tech surface treatments, designed to bring art and utility into the modern interior. To achieve its dense, saturated tones, organic materials like rice straws and chestnut husks are combined in a rigorous high-wood firing process to catalyze deep, elemental finishes.
The fully vitrified form serves effortlessly as a functional bud vase for delicate floral stems, while its commanding texture and silhouette allow it to double as a powerful decorative design object. Placed on a bedside table, low shelf, or console, it bridges everyday function with high-art presence.
— This Bud Vase Jardinière brings an elemental, texturized presence to modern collections. For more on the artist's studio practice, read the full story in the Chariots on Fire Journal.”
