While pulling inspiration and techniques from ancient Japanese ceramics as well as from popular culture and everyday life, Kusaka carves new language into her artwork. Employing various types of clay and firing methods, she experiments with line, color, and size to bring fresh life to the medium. This harmonious presentation is created from individual pieces and thematic groupingsāsimilar in their materiality, hue, and displayāresulting in an extraordinary, unified installation to be experienced in the round. With many detail images, this book provides a deep dive into Kusakaās incredible work one light year.
Published after Kusakaās hugely successful exhibition at David Zwirner, New York, in 2022, this catalogue studies her singular installation from all angles.
