Miki Komatsu

BiographyMiki Komatsu is a graduate student at Tokyo University of the Arts. At the heart of her practice is the investigation of glass in its multiple expressions and its relation to human influence. She states that the existence of human beings can be felt when dealing with glass. The glass that melts at high temperature overlaps the human body's internal organs and blood, while the fragility and tension of the cold hardened glass overlaps the human mind. For Komatsu, the production of a work can be described as a process of confirming her existence and colouring the contour of a human being. Read More

Her work is often characterised by levels of translucency where the sophistication of her technique is put to evidence. Skin-like texture and colour attributes gain a significance in the delicate forms the artist creates out of smelted glass.
