Amorphous - Shibuya

Chikaraishi considers the structure of knitting as a crystalline structure, and is interested in the characteristics that continue to transform and circulate through the act of unraveling. She creates her works by comparing knitting to the way the world is formed. ●Education 2004 　BFA, Department of Information Design, Tama Art University ●Selected Solo Exhibitions 2023　CHIKARAISHI Saki In-Residency Production and Exhibition
