Shino Takeda
Influenced by her upbringing in Japan and her current home in New York City, Shino Takedaสผs ceramics embody her sensory experiences. Most of her works are hand-built using the coil method and incorporate several different types of clay, making each piece one of a kind. Takeda uses her own memories, reflections and appreciation for her life as inspiration, celebrating the perfect imperfections inherent in handmade objects and the unexpected alchemy of working with wood-fired kilns.
Janie Korn
Janie Korn is an interdisciplinary artist living between London, Los Angeles and New York. Her current body of work focuses on object permanence through the use of ephemeral materials. Her magic candles are hand-sculpted through a process of building up and chiseling down wax, and finished by painting the pieces in a molten state. She invites viewers to imagine the pieces glowing, as if providing illumination and kinetic force to the space.
Margot DeMarco
Margot DeMarco is an artist, designer and educator based in New York City. Her work exists in many forms, including: sculpture, furniture, housewares, video, puppetry, photography, window displays, props, illustration and writing. Despite working across disparate mediums, Margotโs art contains a consistent thread of shrewd irreverence towards the world of objects.
Minjae Kim
Seoul-born, New York-based Minjae Kimโs furniture practice predicts playfulness, seduces through functionality and brings a given viewer-user into tactile devotion. From his predictive bodily impressions carved into wood and the anthropomorphic sensibility of his forms, to the idiosyncratic silhouettes of his quilted fiberglass vessels, Kim insists on the invitation to actuate form and produce generative artistic meaning through materiality and touch.
