SOLO EXHIBITIONS
| 1985 | Cinéma Romandie, Lausanne Espace Ringier, Zü Spoon & Tamago - japanese art, design and culture“fluctuation of life” 2010 (photos by kozaburo sakamoto) |click to enlarge Japanese artist Mika Aoki creates exquisite glass sculptures inspired by her fascination with the visible and invisible qualities of the medium. What at first appears to be high-speed macro photographs of water droplets, turn out to be physical stationary sculptures carefully crafted from glass (and occasionally plastic). Aoki often derives her inspiration from the forms found in microscopic life such as spores, fungi, viruses or even sperm. With a masterful command of light and glass, Aoki depicts these propagating life forms in a haunting yet beautiful fashion, which she calls “singing glass.” Here are some pieces from a 2009 solo exhibition Aoki did at Gallery Art Morimoto: (photos by kozaburo sakamoto) | click to enlarge Mika Aoki was born in Hokkaido but is currently working in the Marunuma Art Park (Tochigi, Japan). Most recently she showed at Art Fair Tokyo and the Biwako Biennial but I was surprised to learn she has never show abroad. Here’s Mika, talking about her work
