Snowy Pot

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.

"In this piece my emphasis was on the square opening that reminds me of the window. The rest of the form was built experimentally and so the brushing on the surface followed to create this layered texture."
