Yukako Shibata

Country of residence United Kingdom

In my work I explore the fugitive colours of the natural world and
question the complex interplay of light, atmosphere and the human
perceptual system. Finding the inner light in all things mundane
inspires me, and it is these moments of reverie that are embodied in
the work. My colours inhabit a sculptural space which enters and
interacts with the real space of the viewer’s environment.


Each work is a journey of discovery through play and observation, where
the destination remains open. I deal with the microcosm in order to
gain access to the universal that exists both within and around it, and
explore the paradox between the functional and the meditative,
archetypal forms of making.


I have a particular affection for the concept of the box. Boxes are
attractive objects to me, concentrated in the symbolism of treasure. It
brings a nostalgic feeling and reminds me of a fairy-tale world.
