Works such as “Liquid Sunshine” are comprised of elements cast in brightly-colored translucent polymer from molds made of various turned objects, ranging from thrown clay to turned wood.
Kozuru learned to love turned objects from her family, who have been ceramists in Fukuoka, Japan for many generations.
Kozuru reconfigures these rubber casts on panels and pours a new layer of rubber.
As she plays with positive and negative space, the silhouettes from the original sculptures begin to create bold patterns that join and expand into infinite super-patterns.
Foregrounds and backgrounds appear to flip, while lines merge, blur, or shift, creating new dimensional surfaces.
These mono-casts explore luminous interlocking shapes, patterns, and echoing colors while pulsating from within.
Niho Kozuru (髙鶴丹穂) is a Japanese-born sculptor working in Boston, MA.
