Between Vulnerability and Pain with Narumi Nekpenekpen

Description
Today on Clay in Color, we chat with Narumi Nekpenekpen. She creates small-scale hyper-detailed tenderly-rendered sculptures that speak to vulnerability.

We also discuss how having Japanese as her first language has encouraged her to find poetic ways of expression within the aesthetics and titles of her sculptures.
