Akiko Mori | 2592 cm3

Akiko Mori was born in Japan and studied sculpture at Art University in Tokyo. She had numerous group and solo exhibitions in Japan and Singapore. In 2022 she opened her new studio in Helsinki. In her sculptures, Akiko expresses the volume of a shape. Physics and mathematics are the guide post by which Akiko expresses her art to find unintended results, and so discover the unexpected. She is interested in how physical properties, such as clay density and water content, affect the fluidity of the clay. Mori tries to let the properties express themselves naturally without trying to suppress them, letting physical and chemical effects take their course.
