For a recent afternoon date, I suggested TYG and I take in an exhibit at the Ackland Museum collecting ceramic and clay work by Japanese women. I wasn’t sure it would be that good but the Ackland’s a fun small museum, founded by the wealth of this dude (from a slave-owning family).
Yes, that’s his real tomb.
The photo advertising the exhibit highlighted this yellow piece — which I realized when I saw it up close is ceramics, not fabric.
This one stood out because the glaze is remarkable. That’s not a reflection you see on it, it’s something in the glaze itself (I’m not sure it comes across in photos).
Now, here’s some more photos.
Yes, those were ceramics too.
I’m impressed as hell.
