COLLAPSE / REBIRTH II – NEW YORK – J. B. MIRVISS

Collapse / Rebirth II

Sculpture by Fujino Sachiko and Futamura Yoshimi

In conjunction with Asia Week New York this September, we are thrilled to announce Collapse / Rebirth II, the second conjoint solo exhibition by renowned female ceramists, Fujino Sachiko (b. 1950) and Futamura Yoshimi (b. 1959). While each artist creates works that balance organic spontaneity with deliberate control, their approaches could not be more distinct. In Fujino’s body of work, delicately ruffled, petal-like forms emerge from calculated and geometrical foundations. Futamura treats the surfaces of textured and crevassed biomorphic sculptures with porcelain slip, which she carefully manipulates into crackled striations that evoke an array of natural imagery.

Nearly a decade after the 2016 exhibition that first placed these artists in conversation, Collapse / Rebirth II provides an opportunity to experience these artists’ evolving approaches to clay as a medium of expression.
