Overview
Opening event: Thursday 21st May, 6-8pm
Ozawa's work is informed by a lifelong interest in natural phenomena - including seasonal transitions, fog, breeze, rain, light and shadow.
Through the past study of Japanese painting, Ozawa deeply realised and became influenced by the Japanese notion of Yohaku (blank space). She has drawn upon this in her ceramic practice and developed her own style as the simplicity forms on her ceramics.
A Japan- born, Melbourne-based artist, Yoko Ozawa has been making ceramics since 2003 in Japan and Australia. She studied Graphic design in collage, and Japanese painting in university in Tokyo. She discovered pottery whilst working as a graphic designer in Tokyo. After moving to Australia, she set up her studio in 2012 in Melbourne. Since then, she has had the experiences of joining exhibitions and events in Australia and overseas.
