Kazumi Harnett Inspired by landscape Kazumi Harnett specializes in creating thrown and altered vessels, exploring the malleability of wet clay. The forms and textures are inspired by undulating rural landscapes, capturing the movement, softness and fluidity of the material. Using coarse stoneware clay, some of the marks and textures are strong and bold and others subtle and fragile, enhancing both the tactile and visual qualities of her pieces. Sensual glazes are then applied. The rural Japanese environment where she grew up has been a big influence on her work as well as the Kent environment where she now lives. Her work reflects these personal memories and experiences. Once clay is fired it is transformed into a permanent record of her experiences.
