The changing of the seasons prompts an awareness of the Earth, which all year around informs the works of the artists brought together for 'Kogarashi; The first cold wind.' With a joint interest in and dependence on the natural world, the artistsʼ works come together as a warm, earthy and inviting collection, that with a refined and considered tone, offers a powerful, personal and unique connection to the natural world around us. From the vastly different earthy surfaces of Nancy Fuller and Akiko Hiraiʼs Tsubo pots, to the works of Hannah Blackall-Smith and Sarah Jerath who apply natural materials, gathered locally, directly into the works and process, and Masako Nakagami creating refined porcelain the surface of which mimics the movement of nature that surrounds her studio, such as the flow of the river. This eclectic collection of ceramics is perfectly complimented by Josephine Cottrellʼs moody ink works on raw linen that explore the diversity and character in landscapes alongside woodworkers, Marie Eklund who uses the elements to age and weather and artistic duo Kaori Takahashi & Mark McGil who celebrate the imperfections of nature with locally and sustainably sourced hardwood, embracing any irregularities and their inherent beauty.

 

Individually and collectively, physically and symbolically, these artworks are representations of the natural world. The eclectic range of pieces illustrates both the range of techniques and traditions used by the artists, and the sheer volume of variety present in the natural world.
