Keiko Mukaide is a genius with glass.
An early winner of a Creative Scotland award and a nominee for the Jerwood Prize forGlass, she has a rare mastery of hermedium, making beautiful objects and thoughtprovoking art. Mukaide, who was born in Japan, is a research fellow at Edinburgh College of Art. She has completed many public commissions, including an impressive window for the Millennium Galleries in Sheffield.
Mukaide has been looking at the idea of geomancy, where ancient principles of the ebb and flow of the landscape are combined with practices such as water divining. For this exhibition, Sense and Sensitivity, she has created new, wall-mounted works. These use diachronic glass to cast coloured shadows and create something ethereal. Mukaide exhibits with another British-based Japanese artist, Chiho Hitomi, whose multipleringed works are garnering attention.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
