Boundary Sculpture - Black Rust Glaze

Masanobu Ando

• Introduction

  I am a Black Rust Glaze Boundary Sculpture. I'm always looking for the right angle, the right object, and the right moment to frame.

   

• Curator's Notes 

  The Boundary Sculpture feels like one of those rare pieces that changes the way you look at the objects around it. Its larger scale encourages a more thoughtful approach to placement. We can imagine it framing everyday objects like mugs or neatly folded towels just as naturally as special keepsakes, dried branches, favorite stones, or collected photographs. Every arrangement feels entirely different, making the piece uniquely personal.

  What we appreciate most is that there is no single way to use it. The handbuilt sculpture inspires us to think deeply about where it should belong and what objects you choose to frame. Its open form offers endless possibilities. It can be stood upright, laid flat, or used to frame and display treasured objects in unexpected ways. Even left on its own, the sculpture fills a space, proving that what surrounds an object can be just as meaningful as the sculpture by itself.
