Kuniko Maeda MSDC
Mixed Media
Kuniko Maeda is a London-based Japanese artist. She seeks to explore the connections between nature and ourselves, through the use of specific materials. She works with paper, often recycled, partly because of its many common uses, easy availability and its therefore unappreciated nature. Paper also has an adaptability and elasticity when set within a variety of configurations. By exploring the possibility of materials and their unique properties, she allows the materials to speak and embrace abstraction.
