As a member of the International Academy of Ceramics, she will be part of a collective exhibition in New Taipei City next September 2018.
During her residency period she will explore the surroundings of Studio Kura searching for Japanese craft, motifs that will appeal her. Everything will be about materials, and what materials she will choose to work with. She would like to work on an installation with drawings, surfaces that will show the beauty of the pigment, her interests with colors, searching for our magic little treasures buried deep within.
