Yasue Maetake was born in Japan and came to the US for her MFA at Columbia University. She developed an early interest in materials. Her work centers on the creation of evocative sculptures that grapple with non-controllable forces of nature and serve as a proxy for the human body. She also "prints" metal corrosion onto handmade paper, the latter of which she learned during an artist-in-residence program in Ghana under famed artist El Anatsui.
