Moon Jar - James T Smith

James is a multidisciplinary artist who primarily engages with ceramics, crafting both functional and ornamental pieces inspired by Japanese design aesthetics. His creations are marked by a juxtaposition of sharp, minimalistic lines against organic textures, employing a limited palette of earthy hues alongside the natural beauty of unglazed clay.

Through his continuous exploration and production, James seeks to navigate the interplay between utility and artistry, tradition and modernity, ensuring each piece stands out as a distinct work of art.

Moon Jar

Immerse yourself in the serene beauty of James T. Smith’s large moon jar, a ceramic creation that radiates the duality of Japanese design - Wabi-sabi. The quintessential Japanese aesthetic finds beauty in the transient and imperfect. It is an embrace of life’s natural cycle of growth and decay, celebrating the delicate balance between precision and imprecision, chaos and order. This philosophy, which has long been a cornerstone of traditional Japanese arts, teaches us to appreciate the bittersweetness of fleeting moments and the depth of simplicity.

The moon jar boasts an ample form, elegant curves, and thoughtful decoration, where each stroke tells a story of tradition and modernity. James has applied a harmonious blend of light and heavy brushstrokes, with a spectrum of brown to black paint adding depth and movement to its surface
