Junko Mori
(born 1974) is a Japanese artist based in Wales. Working primarily in metalwork sculpture, Mori’s works are aggregate pieces usually connected thematically and visually to her observations of living matter, particularly plants. Her choice of metal varies widely from silver to mild steel, as does the size and scale of her works, which range from smaller tabletop pieces to largescale sculptures. Her distinctive style is one of contrasts and blending, drawing on her metalworking and sculptural education in both Japan and the UK, as well as constantly blurring the boundaries between so-called 'fine art' and craft. She has been described as "one of the most innovative and exciting Japanese metal artists working today," and has exhibited widely internationally throughout the past several decades. Her work can be found in the collections around the world, including the British Museum, the Victoria & Albert Museum, and the Honolulu Museum of Art. Provided by Wikipedia
