Tamiko Kawata
I create my works through experimenting with materials that reflect my life and my thoughts. Small, unpretentious, valueless things and waste material from our daily life often become my primary medium and a theme. I am fascinated to discover another vision, language and energy within quiet stillness.
I came from Japan in my young adult life, and I feel my works are often intuitive reactions to the American life that I have happily adopted, my art making is a visual journey of my life. Observing our environment is an exciting daily practice, people’s lifestyle, how they react to occurrences and nature’s phenomena…such as water, mist, shadows, wind are strong inspirations to form my works.
