The Winner Of The Loewe Foundation Craft Prize 2023
After deliberations in New York, the Loewe Foundation Craft Prize 2023 jury has selected ‘Metanoia’ by Eriko Inazaki as the winner of this year’s prize. ‘Metanioia’, a sculpture consists of hundreds of tiny ceramic pieces affixed to a clay core. Taking over a year to complete, the complexity has been achieved by layering and arranging these small, yet intricate forms and fixing them to a clay core before firing in the kiln. fragility of its tiny component pieces imbues the work with a magical quality. Their careful composition creates a sense of bursting, radiant energy across the work’s surface, evoking a symphony. This work demonstrates an important balance between technical excellence and artistry.
