Noe Aoki

Japan

Completed a Master’s Degree in Sculpture at Graduate School of Art and Design, Musashino Art University.
Since the beginning of her career in the early ‘80s, she has been fascinated with iron as a medium. Her work is produced by repeated cutting and welding. Liberated from the concept of sculpture=mass, and the inherent solidity and weight of the material, her works transform space. She takes an in depth look at the “site”, and incorporates what is there, regardless of its visibility or invisibility, to create her own unique world. In recent years, she has also exhibited works of different materials such as plaster and glass. Her major awards are the Minister of Education's Choice: New Artist Prize, the Mainichi Arts Award, and the Teijiro Nakahara Prize.
