En Iwamura's latest exhibition 'Mask' at Ross + Kramer Gallery highlights his journey into color, shape, and texture through 20 ceramic sculptures. The collection evokes a sense of wonder rooted in childhood experiences, especially with the 'Neo Jomon: Stacking Neighbor' series, inspired by his son's play. Iwamura’s artistry reflects a blend of vibrant glazes and intricate textures resembling Zen gardens and Jōmon culture. By drawing on the meditative aspects of parenthood and creativity, he encourages viewers to reconnect with their inner child.
I'm still exploring different materials. To be honest, all the colors are decided at the time of spraying—but this often happens by chance.
A driving force behind this collection of work is a reconnection to child-like senses of curiosity, wonderment, and creativity.
