Yuta Segawa & Miyu Kurihara
(See English version of exhibition texts below in yellow)
På Skælskør-hylden, parkens mandshøje Amagerhylde* præsenteres udvalgte miniatureværker af de to japanske kunstnere Miyu Kurihara og Yuta Segawa.
Yuto Segawa undersøger her med sin miniaturekeramik grænserne for, hvad den menneskelige krop kan fremstille i så lille en skala: Alle de viste miniaturekrukker er drejet individuelt i hånden, og derefter glaceret med en af de mere end 3.000 originale glasurer, som Segawa har udviklet.
Værkerne af Miyo Kurihara udspringer af traditionelt porcelænshåndværk med rødder i Kina og Japan. De små genstande er hånddekorerede med stor detaljerigdom baseret på både japanske mønstre og traditionel asiatisk keramik.
* Iflg. Den danske ordbog: Et trekantet system af mindre hylder som er kortest foroven og bliver længere nedefter – til nips.

Exhibition text in English
On the Skælskør-shelf, the park’s human-sized version of a traditional Danish Amagerhylde*, selected miniature works by the two Japanese artists Miyu Kurihara and Yuta Segawa are presented.
Yuta Segawa’s miniature ceramics explore the limits of what the human body can create on such a small scale. Each of the miniature pots on display has been individually thrown by hand and glazed with one of more than 3,000 original glazes developed by the artist.
Miyu Kurihara’s works draw on traditional porcelain craftsmanship with roots in China and Japan. The small objects are hand-decorated with intricate detail, inspired by both Japanese pattern design and traditional Asian ceramics.
* According to the Danish Dictionary, an Amagerhylde is a triangular arrangement of small shelves, shortest at the top and gradually longer towards the bottom, traditionally used for displaying decorative objects.
