About Shino Takeda:
Influenced by her upbringing in Japan and her current home in New York, Shino Takeda’s ceramics embody her sensory experience of sight, touch, taste, sound, and smell.Shino Takeda makes her vessels using the coil method and several different clay bodies. Her ceramic pieces are glazed with bold and muted colors to create abstract designs that are charming and playful. She continually searches for “perfect imperfections” in her works, evoking ideas of wabi-sabi. Her inspirations stem from the natural world and a sense of her interior self. She consciously works to express the color of feeling in her work, producing ceramics that are at once whimsical, thoughtful and functional.
