Hiro Takahashi

HT473Y184 Badger Message Box

Message Box is Hiro’s response to the impact of environmental catastrophe on birds and animals, offering a space for messages or wishes that connect us with one another and the spirit of nature. Hand-built and raku-fired, each lidded box depicts an animal or bird in its natural habitat, with an etched quality to the surface. Inspired primarily by the landscape around her in Somerset, some works also draw on the landscapes of Norman Ackroyd.

About this maker

Hiro was born in Fukushima, Japan. Due to her father’s work commitments, Hiro had a peripatetic childhood. The constants in her life were her grandmother and being close to nature. However, she was dismayed later on to find that the traditional old buildings from her childhood walks with her grandmother had been demolished. Driven by sadness and nostalgia at the loss of her childhood environment/world in Japan, Hiro creates a link between the present and the past from her memories and imagination.
