Japan • 1948

Biography

The constructions Yoshida envisions are built by interlacing sheets of walnut bark with string made of nettle. â€œI consider myself a member of society who wants to make works that open into the new world earnestly, one step at a time,"  Yoshida finds that her work provides her “a means of release, allowing the truth to emerge and open the mind. In the process, I ask myself, 'what is my connection to society?'" Yoshida has studied basketmaking with noted teacher and artist, Hisako Sekijima.
