Jewellery Bubble, warm (2020), Mariko Kusumoto

The ethereal delicacy of Mariko Kusumoto’s designs are a triumph of skill and craftsmanship. The artist specialises in creating jewellery and objects out of polyester fibres, inspired by motifs of marine life, flowers and the everyday. The result is somewhat magical and uplifting: ‘My work reflects various, observable phenomena that stimulate my mind and senses. I “reorganize” them into a new presentation that can be described as surreal, amusing, graceful, or unexpected,’ she describes. Shown as part of Kusumoto’s fittingly titled show ‘Natural Grace’ at Micheko Galerie in Munich, ‘Bubble, warm’ encapsulates the lightness of beauty that pervades her work.
