Plate by Ricca Okano, from the exhibition "Sky & Earth", October 2023 at DEA EAST.

Ricca draws inspiration from the forests and natural environment of her mountain home, and those influences are vividly rendered in this stunning piece. Her rich and glossy white, blue and brown glazing is reminiscent of a pool of melting snow, reflecting the trees and sky above. 

This is a special piece, and just like your favourite view of nature, it's one you will never tire of admiring.

Ricca Okano is based in Karuizawa in the mountainous Nagano prefecture of Japan. Her aesthetic is instantly recognisable as one that extends beyond the boundaries of the ceramic object. Embracing a state of multiplicity, her pieces are both sculptural and illustrative, utilitarian and sublime, culminating in vibrant and explosive works that are driven by instinct and the desire to capture her natural environment.
