Terumi Saito, installation image from her show Interweaving - Fiber and Clay. In her pieces, materials arch and wrap around one another, delicate silk is woven against pronounced h**p rope, while hand-formed ceramic is intertwined with textile in dynamic conversation. With conscientious attention to composition and color, small moves like shifts in scale, gradations of hues, curving protrusions, and carefully chosen material contrasts have great impact. The result is formally compelling and warmly human in scale, honoring living traditions while interconnecting them in refreshing ways.
