In this exhibition, the artwork of 13 of these artists was selected and displayed at the Seto Ceramic and Glass Art Center from 26 September-1 November 2020. This included 4 of the pieces made during my participation in the programme in 2015.Greeting statement included in leaflet: Almost five years have passed since I first visited Seto as a ceramic artist in residence. I remain fascinated by the city’s rich ceramic culture, past and present, and I have since visited a further five times.Then, the freedom to travel and experience new places and cultures seemed like an unassailable human right. Seto’s residency programme is a reminder of the importance of grassroots global collaboration and understanding in this unprecedented time of international crisis. I will never forget the unparalleledcamaraderie, kindness and hospitality I experienced during my time in Seto. The Covid-19 pandemic has offered us a chance to reflect on the past and plan for an alternative future. I am delighted to be represented in this timely retrospective exhibition.I wish to thank the Seto City Cultural Promotion Foundation, the Shinseiki Kougeikan, and the people of Seto for the life-changing opportunities provided by this experience.
