“In spoken language, everyone has a different style to how we tell things; a kind of unorganised, un-systemised way of communication. You learn how to use your material, like painter does visual language, the poet has their own verbal style, and the musician their own style of composing. They all communicate with the audience. This is happening in pottery too; everyone’s work speaks its own language. Anything handmade which people make from scratch is a kind of language, there are words in it. We can compose poetry from what we see.” — Akiko Hirai
