Ceramic Artist - Hitomi Hosono

 Divinity in creation!

These unbelievably beautiful pieces of work are by 

Hitomi Hosono, London-based ceramic artist 

who creates intricately detailed botanical ceramic sculptures.

Born and raised in Japan she creates her detailed

porcelain all from memory. Blooming foliage, leaves and 

flowers as well as collected memories of nature from her own childhood in japan, where her family runs a small rice farm. 

Her inspiration and process...

‘I find myself drawn to the intricacy of plants, examining the veins of a leaf, how its edges are shaped, the layering of a flower’s petals. I look, I touch, I draw.’ 

For some works it can take up to a month 

to create the mold, three weeks to attach the foliage,

and up to five months to let it dry!The artist uses an 18th century method she learnt while interning at Wedgwood called 'sprigging' 

(in which tiny ceramic reliefs are applied to clay surfaces)

VALENTINO and VERMEER

I know these were out ages ago, but I love this AD campaign! 

Styled like the paintings of Dutch artist Vermeer and his use of light,the shots are beautiful and the clothes are stunning. 

The still life arrangements with accessories are so delicate I think all of it is brilliant.
