I’m excited to be part of the 2025 POP Charity Exhibition and Auction by AAW Main Homepage and POP Home – About POP.

My submitted work, WA-RI-KI Tea Container, is an object used in the Japanese tea ceremony. Created in response to this year’s theme, “Open/Closed,” it fits within the required 6 x 6 x 6 inch dimensions.

The piece blends the tradition of Japanese tea utensils with a fusion of time-honored urushi lacquer techniques and contemporary expression.

The live & online auction begins on June 14 at 1:30 PM (CDT / UTC-5).
