I make sculptures and installations using wood, metal, and other forms of material experimentation. Recently, I’ve been studying speakers and using their inner mechanisms to create vibrating sculptures. Sound is important to me because it holds memory and moves through time, and I use it to activate my work through the vibration integral to activating speaker mechanisms. My practice grows out of personal experiences of loss and moving between Japan and America, and how those feelings shift when they meet institutional structures. By letting sound move through materials, I try to show how memory and emotion can settle into objects and quietly shape the spaces around them.
