My recent work explores curiosity about hanazume – or “packed florals” – a pattern which incorporates Asian and European botanical patterns into the traditional wares of the region of Japan where I lived, and that stemmed from feudal era commodity exchange with Europe – representing the translation of cultural codes through ornament. Digital manufacturing tools have created a resurgence in dense, delicate or improbable decorative patterns and forms, which replicate the artisan virtuosity required to craft them in earlier eras. In this work details of precisely rendered 3D printed objects become hazed through the manual of press-molding and repetition, or overlaid with handmade components and the matrix of glaze – by layering colors, forms, and imagery I explore temporal and technological incongruencies, and parallel a perception of wandering out of place at just the right time.
