Natural high-end design women's clothing brand AUM uses the 2021 autumn and winter theme "Original Sound" to focus on women who focus on life, work, and creation. Together with the new generation documentary director Kitajima Yuka, invite ceramic artist Hua Yamozi , to jointly explore the focused beauty of free women.
Hua Ya is a ceramic artist. When she graduated from Jingdezhen Ceramics University, she also went to Beijing to look for opportunities, but life in the city never gave her the feeling of taking root. Soon, she decided to return to Jingdezhen. Further study and study, but also give yourself time to think about the life and direction you want. "I really like the original state of soil , such as impurities, black spots, and cracks , but it gave me a sense of intimacy with the soil, which made me decide that I want to do something like this Just like a job. Choosing a lifestyle means accepting everything it brings, including the unsatisfactory side. ”
For Hua Ya, the pace of rural life is sometimes slow and almost monotonous. , on the contrary, provides a space to appreciate the subtleties and changes between things, allowing her to maintain the sensitivity and observation of the creator.
Go to the mountains to dig mud, dig mud from your own yard, and even squat down to study a handful of mud when passing by. Hua Ya insists on using natural raw materials around him to make utensils. Black spots, impurities and cracks are unavoidable. The objects with natural flaws stand quietly, gentle and kind, telling their stories with all the details. "My vessels have natural flaws and are not perfect, but they have vitality."
"Many people ask me what I like to do after work, or what I like to do during my holidays. I say work. The happiest moment is when you are enjoying the moment of concentration, with your mind calm and flowing like spring water. "
Single-mindedness is the state that Hua Ya pursues when making pottery. Tighten your thoughts and bring them closer, focusing your body and mind only on your fingertips and clay , without noticing the passage of time.
Clay making, drawing, molding, and glazing are all complex and interlocking processes of pottery , requiring meticulous meticulousness and long-term endurance.
It is normal to immerse yourself in making pottery until your back hurts. Whenever he feels unable to move forward, Hua Ya will put down his work and go to the yard to make new tea and pick fruits and vegetables. The life close at hand is undoubtedly the best place to adjust his mood.
The people in the mountain villages are simple and lovely, and the life open to nature is also leisurely. In the summer, I went swimming in the river with my friends and ate watermelon; in the winter, I built a fire to bake hot bread and drink hand-made coffee. The stars, clouds, birds and flower petals in the sky also floated into the bottom of Hua Crow's cup. Everything silently nourished her creation, and it became natural for her to take root.
Hua Ya also accepts the less than satisfactory aspects of rural life, because he knows exactly why he chose this kind of life, so he can be grateful and move forward freely.
"Observe and try in life,
your body and awareness will tell you the direction of progress"
