Becca is in the final year of her MA and is gathering information ready for when she launches herself into the commercial world. I just like looking at beautriful things and there were a lot of beautiful pieces. But the lady who stole my heart was this lady, Midori Takaki. Originally from Japan and now living in England she creates these wonderful dolls that straddle east and west. The colours are intense and the detail charming, really worth taking a closer look. Midori says she captures floating thoughts in clay, even writing her journal in clay. Her girls are light and playful with tiny details caught in the clay. I particularly like her wanderings into the world of fairy stories, Alice and Red Riding Hood I really enjoy. But her heads filled with spring flowers were so bright they made you smile.
For more information about herself and her work she has a website at www.midoritakaki.co.uk, with a lovely gallery and details of how to purchase a piece should you wish to.
