Ikuta Niyoko 生田丹代子 Japanese
Not on view
Ikuta started making glass sculptures in the early 1980s. Fascinated by the capacity of light to reflect and refract while passing through broken sections of plate glass, the Kyoto-based artist composes ethereal, geometric sequences into layered sculptures. She laminates sheets of glass using adhesive and exposes the cross sections to create a dynamic energy and an illusion of motion. Her works often suggest waves or flight.
