Paper artist, Nishimura Yuko will have a solo exhibition at the Fuller Craft Museum in Brockton, Massachusetts. The public opening is Sunday May 4th from 2:00pm ? 5:00pm (museum admission is free on that day). If you are interested in meeting the artist, please attend this reception. The exhibition includes 9 large pieces, including her most recent long abstract mural which is 15 feet in length.

Using her skilled fingers as her tools, Japanese artist Nishimura Yuko transforms large, crisp single white sheets of a special handmade paper known as kyokushi into complex geometric wall reliefs. The freedom with which Nishimura Yuko creates a folded straight or curved line, and subsequently hundreds of them to complete an image, with no template other than her conceptual vision of the work, reveals the poet and the musician that inhabits her. This exhibition, curated by William T. Thrasher and Keiko Fukai, will be her first solo Museum exhibition in the United States.
