About The Artist

ARTIST STATEMENT

A Contemporary Keeper of Ancient Wisdom

Noe Kuremoto’s work exists at the intersection of mythology, memory, and modernity. A ceramic artist of singular vision, she sculpts entirely by hand, using only the simplest of tools—an intuitive, almost ritualistic process that breathes life into clay. Her sculptural forms evoke the enigmatic presence of Japan’s ancient talismanic figures—Haniwa, Dogū, Komainu—artifacts that, for centuries, stood as guardians against unseen forces. Through her own reinterpretations, Kuremoto asks: What spirits do we need protection from today?

At the heart of her practice lies a deep engagement with the complexities of contemporary existence. Each project begins as an inquiry into the sources of modern discontent—alienation, disconnection, the erosion of meaning in a world increasingly dictated by logic and speed. Her sculptures, with their childlike purity and refined simplicity, offer a counterpoint: a return to something instinctual, something ancient, something we have forgotten but still long for.
