Mari Masuda

MARI MASUDA

Charming, dignified,
and somehow ephemeral.

A worldview like a story.

Cats, nature, prayer, life.
Mari Masuda's works possess
a gentle presence and
a quietly breathing strength.

Each time you hold them, each time you gaze at them,
they softly blend into
the landscape of your daily life.

Creates works primarily with ceramics and painting.

Living in the mountains of Shimanto
with insects, wild animals, and cats,
she develops words and works
from the daily atmosphere and human interactions.

Not something perfectly arranged,
but what remains after things are stripped away.

She creates forms that simply exist,
even if they include cracks and distortions.
