Inside the Artists Studio: Tamiko Kawata

 

Through my artwork I am searching for another vision and another way of thinking for my life in the expressive space between installation works sculptures and wall works I compose overlooked indigenous objects from our daily life as my media My choice of materials and interpretation are influenced by the differences that I experience between life in America and in Japan where I grew up I often use repetition and aim to create energy chaos within quiet stillness Bauhaus and Dadaism these philosophies were perfect to affect the wounded youth in post World War II Japan and I was not an exception I grew up learning from and observing them in my formative years in Japan My sculptural education was academic but these philosophies became a solid core for my way of thinking and for my art making My works are my visual diaries of adapted American life
