Two Flowerpots, Judges Special Award, 7th Mashiko Competition, 2008
Catalogue text by Judge Takauchi, Shûgô, ceramic artist:
Jorgen Hansen’s Two Flowerpots: These stunning pieces took me by surprise. Here is a primordial model for pottery, which makes me feel that any further argument is pointless. But actually this work confronts us once again with the issues that need to be argued and discussed. Mr Faulkner chose this work for his Judge’s Award, and I suspect that, in choosing it, he has made a certain statement, like the artist himself, concerning the current situation in contemporary ceramics.
