Tamotsu has pursued sculptural forms that evoke the organic structures inherent in botanical life. Flowers blooming in quiet splendour. The tenacious roots of plants. New shoots reaching forth as if to perpetuate life itself. Drawing inspiration from the resilient vitality of flora in their natural habitats, he continues to work in clay, the very earth that sustains all plant life, as his primary medium of expression. With this deep reverence for botanical forms that embody both delicacy and strength, Tamotsu hand-builds all his works embodying these feelings of being into the clay. The resulting works quietly inhabit space as though they had emerged naturally from the ground itself, reconstructing the serene presence of living plants.
