YOKO
SHIOJIMA

-Yoko Shiojima-
b.1986, Tokyo
Based in Tokoname City, Aichi, Japan, and planning to move to Unnan City, Shimane to further current interests..

Currently living and working in Tokoname City, Japan, she uses paper fibers and clay to evoke a sense of ephemerality, utilizing human figures as a medium to communicate the complex dynamics of distance, indifference, and intimacy. Her current project explores developing relationships and weaving connections within a community through the process of wild firing, where she relies on others for help with the firing location, materials for the temporary kiln, and mutual understanding.
