Episode Details

Growing up with Artists around her home in Japan Noe absorbed the artist lifestyle of gathering meaning, understanding the objects and relationships have a larger context. She learned early how to become an academic artist. How to use classic materials. She gained the education of Contextual Art at St Martin's College in the United Kingdom. Switching gears into motherhood she returned to basic mediums of earth, air, and fire found in clay.

Listening to her personal cues and the gossip in the big cities Kuremoto heard the unease of the work life. Taking solace in her family, and her practice Noe took a leap out of her comfort zone and started building a studio deep in a forest in Lithuania. Here she can gather her inspiration from the quiet.

Abandoning her culture over the years Noe recognizes how important myths and stories are metaphorically to the here and now. She sees the sadness and weaves her perceptions into figurines that hold a symbolic meaning to everyone who sees them. Many of her sculptural pieces resonate on a deeper level, protecting us today, while they dance amongst the shadows from the ancient world.
