JiKI is my name in art. i work with clay, glazes, fire, photography, sculpture, performing arts. Often my work is based on teh relation between in & out/ dark&brightness/conventiona&unconventional, love&hate, black&white. I love to sculpture and successively elaborate photo studios on my sculptures (Photholograms). My 360° energy needs it.
When i work with clay,every shape I create is an image in my eyes that sets in motion my hands to mould the earth with the help of water, trying to instinctively move as close as possible to the idea, the "initial vision".
The air will dry once again the earth "manipulated by the idea" so that the fire can then give it its "mood" by freezing its shape and colour.
With the power of the heat the glaze spreads on the earth covering it or veiling it, wrapping it up in a permanent and live manner.
Very often some types of glazing allow you to "hear" the sounds of adjustment for a long time after production has been completed, demonstrating that every object has its mood.
My creative "path" is therefore cyclically humoral while my objects, that I define "earths manipulated by an idea" do nothing more than recall the "initial vision".
This is why the production of a single idea will have to go through many "earths manipulated by that idea", the objects.
So from the desire to move as close as possible to the "initial vision" an entire experimental typology will be created, it will have no time limits and each object will be at the same time unique but will also be part of a whole.
The process in its self will never end because its final aim is to reach the pure idea, the concept, of the "initial vision".
