Each piece has pure and structural elements of work, simplicity and texture. The tactile feel of Kiho's finish is a joy to touch.
Kiho Kang constructs strictly geometric vessels and tableware by coiling and pinching. Slowly building up each piece forces the artist to work more deliberately, giving each piece a special quality and showing the time and craftsmanship that has gone into its making.
Created with the user in mind, Kiho’s work is both fully functional and aesthetic, each piece impactful as part of a group or on its own. Fired at 1280 degrees Celsius.
