Continuing in our travels around the globe through the eyes of our gallery artists, this week we invite you to explore the poetic world of Japanese photographer Yoko Ikeda.
Upon winning the prestigious Art Basel Photo Alpa Award in 2019 Ikeda had this to say about her work and process:
"I work with the desire to create a new world on photographic paper while being conscious of the ambiguity of visual sensation and the camera's functions, and being attentive to composition, the shape of things, and the combination of colors...I think I can get inspirations from everything I see in everyday life. Appearance of shape, color of things changes by light and angle. Even if I don't have a camera with me, I always try to be conscious of it. I believe the accumulation of that consciousness will help me when I shoot."
