Artist Statement
I make objects that are recreations of memories, which I seek out from fragmentary evidence. Having grown up in a Japanese family restaurant, I examine identity and heritage, filling in the blanks with imagery through food, ceramics, imagination, and dreams.
Born into a Japanese family of restaurateurs and growing up in Canada, Amy Shindo combines interests in the culinary and ceramic arts, bridging these worlds though accessible objects and experiences.
