Miyuki Kido

Miyuki.

She makes houses out of paper. Her works are universal symbols and they function where language stops in communication. Ever so gently they exist as a tiny powerline between her heart and everyone else’s. She has developed this language through her own craft of paper macheing, of which she is a professional expert. Her work is generally tiny. She also uses very simple but sensitive language to communicate about her work. She says that in Japan, there is the infatuation with tiny models based on the idea that the universe can fit in your hand. I see that she is creating tiny worlds, like warm microcosms. They are paper boxes that you can see into. Everyone can see into them and everyone can see everyone in them.
