A moment of Harmony…Naoko Tagai

‘A moment of harmony’

Porcelain glazed & unglazed
mounted on board.

Naoko Tagai is a multidisciplinary artist, works in Deptford, London.

‘I decided to explore the potential of Porcelain to create a form of sculpture – an imaginary plant that seek to express the overwhelming energy and power of nature to prevail in the world, despite the odds. The hard sharp spikes in the work point towards this strength and resilience.

I wanted to capture the vitality and life force which all plants naturally exhibit – something indeed we can learn much from, both as a species and as individual people.’

Many thanks to Naoko for the work ❤️
