Miyoko Onishi ceramic sculpture

Also at Ceramics in the City, and at the Origin Craft Fair(week one) at Somerset House, was Miyoko Onishi. Her hanging sculptures were one of the high points of the Ceramics in the City fair, but her small vases, bowls and plates were also on display. Looking like a flock of birds, or perhaps a cloud of petals, they hang, suspended in long streams (see picture).
My wife gave me one of the hanging pieces for my birthday, but I couldn't resist a small, almost matt black vase, to add to my ever-expanding collection of Japanese ceramacists working in London (see also Akiko Hirai and Mizuyo Yamashita).
All I need now is a little more space to display it all...
