Yasue Maetake (b. 1973) began her career as a glass artist, first training in Japan and the Czech Republic before settling in New York City, where she now works as a sculpture artist, transforming raw and organic materials into abstract artworks. Maetake actives her deep cultural and historical knowledge, embedding expressions of Japanese Animism, Baroque aesthetics, and industrialization into her material-centered pieces.
