SUMMARY:Greenwich\, CT | Artist & Curator-Led Tour: 'The Elusive Art of Kumi Yamashita'
DESCRIPTION:Kumi Yamashita\, Arc\, 2014. Carved wood\, single source light\, shadow. 30 x 13 x 2 inches. Photo by Erik Maahs.\n\n\n\nJoin ArtTable at the Greenwich Library’s Flinn Gallery for a tour of The Elusive Art of Kumi Yamashita co-led by the artist and Leslee Asch\, exhibition curator\, Flinn Gallery chair\, and member of ArtTable. \n\n\n\nAbout the exhibition: Kumi Yamashita transforms simple materials into astonishing works of art. Discussing her shadow art and the elusive nature of light\, she explains\, “I sculpt using both light and shadow. I construct single or multiple objects and place them in relation to a single light source. The complete artwork is therefore comprised of both the material (the solid objects) and the immaterial (the light or shadow).” In addition to Yamashita’s Light & Shadow series\, the exhibition features provocative portraits crafted by meticulously winding a single\, unbroken sewing thread around thousands of small galvanized nails. Yamashita’s body of work showcases an astounding range of materials and techniques. \n\n\n\nLearn more about her practice in this interview with the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Artist \n\n\n\n\nKumi Yamashita was born in Takasaki\, Japan.
