Ikuko Iwamoto makes extremely exquisite and delicately crafted porcelain objects and framed works, sometimes combining her spiky porcelain sculptures with antique objects from Japan, like with this sculpture, Hoe. The works suggest the every day, the ordinary, but are in fact rather extra-ordinary. She sees them as being the vehicle to make visible an invisible, microscopic world. A world of intricacy and detail, of mathematical pattern and organic chaos, of beauty and repulsion.
Ikuko graduated from Camberwell College and completed an MA Ceramic and Glass at The Royal College of Art. At the end of 2019, Ikuko won the Young Masters Maylis Grand Ceramic Prize.
