Jacqueline Heerema, 'Overlevers | Survivors' @Kouraku Kiln Art In Residency, Arita, Japan

Heerema's research focuses on porcelain and botanical heritage, with the materials she uses playing an important role. ‘I am fortunate enough to work here, in the middle of a rural porcelain factory, which means I become part of a centuries-old family tradition... All this thanks to the generous support of Stroom.’  
Jacqueline Heerema arrived in Arita, Japan, on 4 September. Follow her research here. This project was supported by a PRO Onderzoek grant.
