The third exhibit that I wanted to see at the Phoenix Art Museum last weekend was called 'Radical Clay: Contemporary Women Artists from Japan".
All I can say about this exhibit is WOW what a fantastic array of sculptures crafted by some brilliant artists.
This piece to the left is called "Bag Work" and it was created by Tanaka Yu. It looks like a vessel wrapped in cloth but every bit of it is clay. It's a bit mind-boggling how the artist got that cloth-like effect.
This one is called "Eroding Flower" and it was created by Shingu Sayaka. The petals on this 'flower' are so delicate and thin.
This last one is called "Flower #10" and the artisit for this one is Tashima Etsuko.
Every piece in this exhibit was spectacular. Apparently sculpting clay is usually a man's craft in Japan. This exhibit seeks to show what the women can do.
