Liligutt is collaboration ~ Conversation piece!

Conversation piece!

PIECE 001 ~ THE SPARK
Morning. Walking route to Liligutt Studio. A random encounter and an unexpected Vespa lift. Chatting away and the spakeplug “handmade ceramics for Liligutt Shop project! - let’s do this together”. Those who know, know - a Vespa ride is always inspiring!

PIECE 002 ~ BELONGING
A pressed rusty can [probably blazed] found in Bethlehem. A wooden tiny bowl burnt by an unruly incense. The hole on a white t-shirt used as a lampshade. Be together - before use the word together - is a burning thing.

PIECE 003 ~ 東京
We travel. Alone and on a group trip, just to reach the sea or get to the east. We collect. We share. A collection of sharings - like a store's box with on sale objects, placed on the Kappabashi sidewalk waiting for our future epiphany. A couple of faulty ceramic vases payed just few Japanese Yen.
