Yukiko Murata, a Japanese artist who has been based in Barcelona for decades, is presenting an exhibition at the Galeria Mamatua on the relationship between matter, water and the passage of time. Her work centres on ceramics, porcelain and glass, materials whose physical and expressive qualities she explores in search of forms, transparencies and the link between presence and absence.

According to the artist's project, there is no clear separation between the everyday object and sculpture. A vessel can go beyond its function without losing the simplicity of its form, and a sculptural piece can retain the closeness and discretion of household objects. This outlook is the common thread running through the works gathered under the title Memòries d'aigua.

The gallery, located in Sant Pol de Mar, thus shows a collection of pieces in which ceramics, porcelain and glass appear at once as objects and as sculpture.
