Masako Miki

Masako Miki (b. 1973, Osaka, Japan) is a multimedia artist whose work ranges installation and large-scale sculpture, printmaking, watercolor and felting. A native of Japan, she now lives and works in Berkeley, CA. Her work frequently explores the idea of synthesis—manipulating contradicting spatial elements to suggest a disoriented context and space. She bases her narrative on her own experiences of becoming bicultural in the United States at the age of eighteen. The artist frequently delves into the psychological aspects of how one processes new environments and cultures; ultimately her work merges two existing cultures into a new one.
