Akiko Mori was born in Japan and studied sculpture at Art University in Tokyo. In 2022 she opened her new studio in Helsinki, which we visited to mark her Lokal White Wall exhibition, Geometric Spaces. She is interested in how physical properties, such as clay density and water content, affect the fluidity of the clay.
Akiko Mori, originally from Japan, expresses the volume of a shape in her sculptures. Physics and mathematics are the guide post by which Akiko expresses her art to find unintended results, and so discover the unexpected.
