White Marble Sea Stone Vase by Mitsuru Koga
$450.00
Description:
Palm sized sea-stone vases by Japanese artist, Mitsuru Koga. These marble stones are tumbled by the sea floor, then collected on shore. By selecting stones that have been shaped by nature, he can carefully add the addition of a neck and flat base without being wasteful. The organic shape created by the sea is the inspiration for the transformation into a minature vase. The finishing touch is a mixed media plant made from washi and metal to stand and sway delicately inside each vase. Each vase comes in an original secure box, like jewelry.
Measurements:
Sea Stone Vases: Range of 1 in. - 2.25 in. for height, and around 1 in. - 1.8 in width. Each stone will vary in size and shape.
Variation:
Each stone is one-of-a-kind.
History:
Based in Kanagawa prefecture, Japan, Mitsuru Koga (b. 1980) has the ability to breathe life into seemingly mundane materials, transforming them into works of art. Koga’s artistic process reflects his commitment to exploring the delicate relationship between objects, nature, and humanity.
