Ceramic Skulls

‘Predictive Dream’ – a collection of highly decorative ceramic skulls by Japanese artist, Katsuyo Aoki.

Their striking presence is both attractive and disturbing.

“Their existence in the present age makes us feel many things; adoration, some sort of romantic emotions, a sense of unfruitfulness and languor from their excessiveness and vulgarity. And on the other hand, they make us feel tranquility and awe that can almost be described as religious, as well as an image as an object of worship.”
