James Seet has soaked in traditional Japanese aesthetics to create new ceramic works on show from September 17 to October 3 at Richard Koh Fine Art in his home country’s capital.

In Wobbly Sabi, Seet draws inspiration from Japan’s wabi-sabi, a worldview inspired by Zen Buddhism and centred on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. The works in the show exude roughness, simplicity and modesty, but most importantly show clay as a revelatory medium of contemplation for the artist.
