The series
of small flower vases and pots is called Sekka (stone
fruits), with inspirations from the smooth touch
of plumply rounded
pieces of broken glass shaped by waves found on the beaches or riverbeds
of the Setouchi area where the artist is based, embraces beautiful
curves that invite us to wrap in our hands.
Sourcing her inspiration from a wide range
of places — the work
of Roberto Burle Marx, Lina Bo Bardi, Oscar Niemeyer, lunar cycles,
fruit and even Bossa Nova album covers — her
pieces are constructed
of vivid parts whose
curves, vectors and interlocking spheres refer to Rio's many social forms and a type
of perception.
