En Iwamura’s Mask: A Contemporary Take on Ceramic Art at Ross + Kramer

Ross + Kramer presents Mask, the sixth solo exhibition by En Iwamura. Featuring over 20 ceramic sculptures, including wall-hanging works, the exhibition delves into the cultural and symbolic relevance of masks. Drawing inspiration from Iwamura’s childhood fascination with the mask displays at Osaka’s National Museum of Ethnology, the collection reflects both historical significance and contemporary meaning in a post-pandemic world. The works aim to rekindle childlike curiosity and creativity, with highlights from the Neo Jomon: Stacking Neighbor series inspired by parenthood and play.
