Rainbow of Light: The work of Chun Liao could be seen to be the ceramic equivalent of the colour field painters of the United States; her use of rich hues on gently tapering cylinders results in a jewel-like intensity redolent with passion and feeling. In this six-page feature, Emmanuel Cooper discovers how assembled together these forms create narratives, with one form introducing and relating to the other.
Quiet Isolation: The ceramics made by Keiko Hasegawa are intimately connected with food, as Simon Olding explains in this six-page feature. On one occasion she was commissioned to produce 3,000 pieces, all made by hand, for a fashionable London restaurant and has since continued to make pieces for them. The food looks and tastes better in these deceptively simple dishes and containers.
