Masae Kamiue
Masae Kamiue is a ceramic artist based in Osaka, Japan.
Her works are characterized by soft gray tones and subtle undulations.
Contours that are not overly refined, along with slight distortions, are intentionally embraced, creating pieces that carry a quiet tension and understated elegance.
While her vessels evoke a distant, almost unfamiliar atmosphere, they settle naturally into daily life, revealing more of their depth with use.
They are beautiful simply as objects, and come into their own through use.
Their presence seems to gently shape the surrounding space.
