Both organic and geometric, Takeuchi's ceramics present a dramatic illusion of form and process. The vessels are balanced in earthy patterns and bold labyrinthine arcs.
Deformation and destruction are both part of the creative process, and the struggle between earth and fire is transformed into a diverting artwork. The sculptures, or simply vases as Takeuchi calls them, are a calibrated balance between the strength of the earthen material and the bold labyrinthine arches, reminiscent of seeds and eggs that are about to hatch.
