Midori Mukai
clayArt Studios' Assistant Technician

​

Midori is a Toronto based emerging artist working in the field of ceramics and fine craft. She began her official practice in 2022, exploring work which highlights the elemental process of clay and traditional approaches to art. Her practice explores organic material centering around process, craftsmanship, and memory in relation to tactile perception.

Hand-built and wheel techniques are used to reveal the raw characteristics of the material while oxides, slip, and natural fibers emphasize each figure. Ceramic forms are used to document her lineage — Midori wishes to explore the journey of the Brazilian Diaspora, ultimately shifting the Western perspective of the Global South. Building off of memory, she creates an open record of origin and cultural exchange.
