後藤有美は、陶芸の練込（ねりこみ）技法で、西洋絵画などの静物画に描かれた陶磁器の色彩や形態を取り入れながら造形しています。
本展では、船が描かれた絵画をモチーフにした作品や、野々島や桂島の砂浜で採取した砂を練り込んだ船徳利作品などを通し、後藤は風景や絵画の「間に土をはさむ」ことについて考察・造形することを試みています。

「器を船に見立てるとき、船が描かれた絵画の色や形態を器へ取り入れるときの方向は互いに異なります。自身の練込を"間に土をはさむ"行為と定めて、船のかたちを借りた器作品を展示します。」
（後藤有美）

Titled “The Landscapes as the Vessel”, Ceramic artist GOTO Yumi will showcase her work from exploring and creating sculptures that involve "sandwiching the ground" in between. GOTO has been known for her innovative approach to pottery work, in which she uses Nerikomi to incorporate the colors and shapes derived from Western Still Life paintings such as Cezanne. For this exhibition, GOTO turns to the waterscape and the ships that surround it to create vessels, interpreting the scenery in its ceramic form, using the ground as a layer between landscapes and paintings, and by using sand collected from the beaches of Nonoshima and Katsurasima on Shiogama's Urato Island archipelago. Apart from vessels, original works on display will also include Funadokkuri, traditional sake bottles once served on ships in premodern Japan. "When you think of a vessel as a ship, the way you incorporate the colors and shapes of a ship’s painting into the vessel differs. I define my Nerikomi process as the act of 'sandwiching clay between pieces', and I will be exhibiting vessels that borrow the shape of a ship." (Goto Yumi)
