Held Up

Are the brick supporting the hands or crushing them? Are we holding up or being held up? Are we being held up (supported) or held up (stopped)? Would the artist Rose E. Wharton give us the answer, or is the answer inside us?

Listening to the Waves (Chōtō), stoneware with sand glaze (2004) Sakiyama Takayuki (Japanese, born 1958) created this stoneware vessel to mimic the rugged coastline near his home. Deep carved lines and a sandy glaze give the surface the appearance of moving water and rippling waves. The interior and exterior flow together in a seamless spiral that defies the traditional shape of a ceramic pot, capturing the energy of the natural world. Loc. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. Dim. 40 cm H x 32.4 cm W (15 3/4 x 12 3/4 in.).
