Cocona Murayama
Artist
Taking as her motifs everyday objects in modern life and the movements and trajectories of actions associated with them, she creates works using a multifaceted approach that includes three-dimensional wooden sculptures, photography and drawing. Drawing on formal methods of abstraction established in art history, she explores the fusion of existing forms with geometric shapes. She focuses on the ‘subtle fluctuations’ found in everyday life, developing them into new interpretations and insights.
