MADISON, Wis. — Toshiko Takaezu worked with not just her hands but her entire body. She really had to: A lot of her glazed ceramic sculptures were enormous — as tall as she and too large to wrap her arms around. Footage of her at a potter’s wheel shows her leg flapping in a funky in-and-out movement to keep the wheel spinning, as arms, hands and fingers magic the shapes into being.
