For her first solo show at Greengrassi, Japanese-born American-based artist Shio Kusaka presents a series of ceramic sculptures. Kusaka models ceramic vessels of which no two are the same. Their shapes are simple and usually bottom-heavy or columnar. A minimal choice of palette is enlivened with patterned markings and coloured lines. These frenetic lines explore the surface of each vessel, often creating an awkward interaction of horizontal and vertical planes.
