Kiyomi Iwata uses silk organza, metal, and kibiso to create sculptures that synthesize traditional Japanese aesthetics and forms with contemporary western art. Her installations explore the boundaries of East and West through absence and presence, void and volume. The work on exhibition at VisArts will include new pieces as well as sculpture spanning two decades of Iwata’s career, highlighting her sensitive and ever-evolving studio practice and experiments.
