オガサワラミチ

Born in Ehime; lives in Kyoto; visual artist Graduated from the Department of Design at Kyoto Seika University Creates works using a variety of expressive methods, without being confined by technique, materials, abstraction, or figuration While she had primarily created drawings and paintings, the COVID-19 pandemic made it difficult to return home casually. This led her to consider whether she could incorporate local materials into her work. Using the clay from Kikuma roof tiles—a local specialty familiar to her from her elementary school days—she began creating the “Roof Tile Clay Figurines” series in 2022 In addition to participating in solo and group exhibitions at contemporary art galleries annually, primarily in the Kansai region, she also exhibits at art events held in department stores, museums, botanical gardens, and other venues.
