Blue Brush Vase

Sculptural vase - unique piece hand-built by Miwa Neishi.

This artist of Japanese origin lives and works in New York. Her work, presented exclusively by Volume Ceramics in Europe, shows great freedom, while drawing its roots in traditional Japanese know-how. The shapes are usually influenced by the mannerism of calligraphy. She readily cites Noguchi Isamu and Saburo Hasegawa as major inspirations in her work. Asymmetric shapes are inspired from letter writing. Every line and openings of the shape creates the abstracted form of Kanji and Hiragana letters Miwa grew up with in Japan.
