Yamazaki Nobuko 山崎暢子

I always like the hazy boundaries between art, sculpture and fashion for at these blurred edges the most interesting ideas and work happens.
This is the work of Japanese artist Yamazaki Nobuko 山崎暢子. Yamazaki uses the medium of small glazed porcelain mosaic tiles, a material introduced from the west, she uses them uniquely, as the surfaces for three dimensional soft sculptures. Her forms are usually domestic objects and often clothing such as shirts, dresses, socks, bathing suits and underwear.
