Shizue Imai's work is as rooted in the ceramic tradition of Japan as the freedom of expression associated with the land she made home in 1989; each piece is unique, each a brave visual exposition and a talisman alike. This large vase is shaped both like a flower and a spotlight, and is glazed in a uniformly metallic bronze.
