“Design and function are influenced by my heritage. Through the search of my personal identity in the process of making objects, I project myself in the surface designs and patterns, extending my inspirations from traditional woodcut prints, textiles, and wrapping papers. I am interested in the eclectic inclusions of East/West onto utilitarian objects in celebration of nourishing containment by showing the appreciation of production practice with thoughtful designs and keen craftsmanship.”
After earning his MFA from Southern Illinois University (Carbondale), Yoshi Fujii joined the residency at Baltimore Clayworks as the 2008-09 Lormina Salter Fellow and currently serves as their Director of Exhibitions and Shop.
