The work
In 2010 a small stone found at the door of the studio looked like a bodhisattva. The figure that grew from it argues that every outward form is only an appearance: open it, and whether what is inside is buddha or demon only you can know.
Cultural source
The Diamond Sutra on appearances; a found stone.
The artist's transformation
Personal, not doctrinal.
Making
Hand-built, script painted before the glaze firing.
Scale & variation
Single figure; larger versions on commission.
Placement
