Guided by the material itself, Kumiko Kihara works with Mitsuro Hikime (an ancient Japanese wax technique) alongside chasing and repoussé. Calligraphy informs her lines and each hammer strike adds emotion. Kumiko attends to ? (Ma), the space within and to shadow, which gives an object its presence. Every piece is a unique, poetic act of making.
