On View β€” Patina of Time: The Clay Art of Iguchi Daisuke πŸ•°οΈ

At the heart of Iguchi’s artistic expression is the theme of time:

β€œRather than simply creating form, I hope to create works that inspire viewers to reflect on memory and the passage of time.”

Inspired by rusted iron, moss-covered rocks, and ancient pottery unearthed in archeological digs, Iguchi has developed a meticulous and time-consuming process to cultivate a weathered and eroded texture on the surface of his vessel forms.

Patina of Time: The Clay Art of Iguchi Daisuke is open through October.

Closing Soon β€” Ground/work 2025 at The Clark Institute 🌱

Don't miss this magnificent outdoor exhibition of monumental sculpture by six international artists, including Akiyama Yō! Drawing inspiration from the red oak trees peppering The Clark's grounds, Akiyama roots this installation in the earth and stretches it boldly upwards, as if to pierce the sky. A testament to the artist’s mastery of his medium, the sculpture’s surface ripples with carefully controlled yet organic-seeming fissures that reveal the materiality of the clay itself as a source of beauty.

Stretching approximately thirteen feet in height, Oscillation: Vertical Garden is composed of several pieces, which Akiyama formed and fired at his studio in Japan and then assembled on site.

The exhibition is free and open to all through Monday, October 12, 2026.
