When making functional pottery Arun tends to only use porcelain and two different celadon glazes. He is attracted to porcelain because of its smooth, sensuous feel, along with its white vitrified surface. The two glazes he uses, are celadon and amber celadon, have so many variations that Arun never tires or ceases to be surprised by the results. Along with other forms, he is particularly interested in making teabowls because it is a functional form that is placed on one’s lips. It is that kind of intimacy that compels him to continue exploring the teabowl. Some of the pieces that you see come from the Fracture Series. These soda fired teabowls are porcelain with an amber celadon glaze. It is a good example of his attempt to take the Japanese teabowl form and interpret it with Western aesthetics. Instead of using stoneware he uses porcelain. Instead of being wood or raku fired he uses glaze in a soda atmosphere. The cracks were completely intentional as they bring a sense of time & poetry to these beautiful yet imperfect objects.
