Hip Hop Feminist Performative Video Sculpture

I am a multidisciplinary artist. I create site specific installations, sculptures, abstract paintings and performance. I was born and grew up in Japan, moved to New York in 2000. Currently I work in Bushwick, Brooklyn.

contemporary abstract painting

Still life photography, sculpture and Installation.

My work focuses on the intersection of graphic design and contemporary art, correlating color theory to human psychology and our emotional states.

The foundation of my work is based on displacement and the obscure means by which we search for the “original place” from whence we came.

I shred promotional mailings, creating works that extract alternative narratives from these raw materials.

Assemblage sculpture mixing 3D rapid prototyping, with traditional sculpture techniques and natural/found materials.

Using fabric and hand sewing as a vehicle, I talk about the ways in which we experience our homes and the objects and stories within them.

expressionistic oil portraiture, intricate line drawings, as well as non-representational "emotional landscapes", visual poetry, video, sound, and performance.

I get a lot of spiritual guidance in my life and in my work I listen to spirit guides, my intuition and my heart in manifesting my creations.

I create performances, installations, sound pieces and sculptures that respond to environmental disasters and personal mythologies. I am concerned, curious and hopeful.
