Fumi Masaki

Level 8

I was born and grew up in Japan and came to Ireland when I was in my late 20’s. In my life between two different cultural experiences I obtained a unique perspective. I see, observe and picture things from different angles, my unique perspective is reflected in my artwork. In my practice, I focus on objects and materials rather than subjects. The process of making is more important to me than artistic themes. My works explore my subconscious, my daydreams and feelings. Materials are important for me; their softness, tactility, and intimacy enable me to express and embody my feeling. The materials I use play with my strange, imaginative and figurative images. I intend to combine different images and colours which may be mixed up, or confused, becoming somehow meaningless or meaningful, but this is my way of expressing my aesthetic.
