"Among this ceramic series, Oishi's works are greatly different from many other works in that she develops her decoration consciously."
-- DAICHO Tomohiro
(The National Museum of Modern Art, Kyoto Curator)
Decoration is a main theme for Oishi Sayaka throughout her career. She told me that she believes that decoration was used to convey human emotions before written language (think about Jomon ware). It still is to this day. Or even more so, as it expresses delicate emotions that words cannot convey.
