Joseph Conforti

I would like to introduce an artist of repetition to you guys.For me his work just amazing, and i never thought you can use repetition to create such a great work like this.

Joseph Conforti is a master of repetition. He creates hypnotic wall sculptures comprised of individual panels, each of which contains hundreds of ceramic pieces. Raku, for those unversed in ceramic speak, is a traditional form of Japanese pottery dating back to the 16th Century. It involves low temperature kiln firing, followed by a combustible immersion that gives the pieces their crackled surface and characteristic carbon-black quality. Because the process is so unpredictable, atmospheric conditions from day to day can produce amazingly different results.

Looking at Conforti's work makes me exciting. The Zen-like nature of his production and assembly, no doubt comes through in the completed works.
