Makiko Hicher Plate

Makiko was born in Japan and lives in Montreal. She has exhibited her pottery across Canada and Europe.

Her pieces are inspired by the idea of a work of art that, perhaps after a shipwreck, sank to the bottom of the sea, where it remained for centuries, alone, gradually covered by algae and shellfish, taking on the colors of the surrounding waters.

Her work captures both the sadness and poetry of lost objects, forsaken by all, upon which time slowly leaves its mark.
