Born of Fire: Contemporary Japanese Women Ceramic Artists

"Born of Fire complements the special exhibition Washi Transformed and features a diverse selection of 14 works by both emerging and internationally established Japanese women ceramic artists. Pioneering new forms and technical and aesthetic innovations in the medium, these remarkable artists are breaking barriers and forging new ways of creating and thinking about ceramics that reflect changes occurring in contemporary Japanese art and society. The works express the influence of nature, innovations in ceramic making techniques and an array of practices. The exhibition is organized by the Crow Museum of Asian Art of The University of Texas at Dallas and works are drawn from the renowned collection of Carol and Jeffrey Horvitz, the largest collection of contemporary Japanese ceramics outside Japan."
