closed form etudes 2023 Directed by Leilehua Lanzilotti
Toshiko Takaezu maintained a practice of inserting small bits of clay into her closed ceramic forms so they would rattle when handled. They contain hidden soundscapes revealed only through touch. Takaezu described the practice of adding rattles to her closed forms as “sending messages.” In this film, Leilehua Lanzilotti activates selected closed forms.
