Ikuko Iwanmoto makes ceramics, not just your ordinary, everyday ceramics her pieces are out of this world, but never defies the aspect of functionality. Vases which you think will come to life or maybe it had a past life and is now here to bring light into your life. The patterns are intricate and sometime remind me of an object you would find in the ocean or maybe even under a microscope a paramecium perhaps. Just take look and decide for yourself.
