PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Shio Kusaka has become known for her playful and open approach to the ceramic medium, crafting vessels and figures that are both functional and abstract. Painting and incising on thrown porcelain and stoneware surfaces, Kusaka merges sculpture and drawing while asserting the role of ceramics within the realm of contemporary art. Kusaka was born in 1972 in Morioka, Japan, and moved to San Francisco in the early 1990s. After receiving her BFA in 2001 from the University of Washington, Seattle, she moved to Los Angeles, where she currently lives and works.

Her work synthesizes from a broad range of visual culture, from ancient Japanese pottery to Sol LeWitt's wall drawings, asserting the role of ceramics within the realm of contemporary art""-- ""Archinect"" ""Shio Kusaka's light blue vessels practically glow and levitate above the copper sheets they're displayed on, with patterns of concentric lines whose subtle differences emerge through their repetition""-- ""Sight Unseen"""
