Zhong Fu Chan's latest piece with us is a hand sculpted veneration of natural rhythms. The harmony in its construction, a recognizable tapered base teapot form melding with an arti culated knob and knotted bramble-like handle, interfaces tea with its roots in the natural world. Simplicity is surprisingly unsimple. In our increasingly complex, instant and demanding world, simplicity requires practice and cultivation, within oneself before without. To Chan, the pursuit of simplicity (not an ersatz buzzword or signifier of it) is what consumes his work. There's a desirable unpredictability to the woodfire kiln that tantalizes us, and, by ways, drives the journey towards reticence, humility, austerity, and non-fussiness. 5" Length4" Width2" Depth Show more
