In forming her organic, ceramic vases, Neishi draws inspiration from abstract expressionism, prehistoric clay figures, and calligraphy. In making
work today with nontraditional clays and glazes, Neishi wishes to continue the legacy of humanity's imagination and connection to the elemental aspects of life. Each artwork is intuitively hand built, focusing on the harmony between lines, similar to the practice of Japanese calligraphy. In their final forms, Neishi finds that every piece reflects a character she’s come across in her life, whether in Japan, Ohio, NYC, or elsewhere. Neishi writes, “while my art forms are sculptural and abstract, I wish the audience to find them to be as familiar as a flower vase – a part of earth that’s carrying life and energy, freely given from nature”.
