1975年東京都生まれ。東京とミラノを拠点に活動。
慶應義塾大学文学部で社会学（文化人類学）を学んだ後、2001年に渡伊。ミラノ・ブレラ国立美術大学絵画科を卒業する。ポーラ美術振興財団（2008–09）、文化庁（2010–11）の在外研修助成を受け、歴史建造物における空間性と作品の関係をテーマにイタリアで制作と研究を行う。その後も国際交流基金や野村財団の助成のもと、各国で展示とリサーチを重ねている。現在はイタリアを中心に、スイス、日本などのギャラリーで作品が紹介されている。
展覧会やアートフェアへの出品に加え、邸宅、廃墟、教会、神社など多様な歴史的空間でのインスタレーションを通して、各地をフィールドワークの場としてきた。
人類学と美術の双方を背景に、文化や世代によって揺れ動く多次元的なものの見方や身体性、そしてそれに伴う相対的な視点と境界の在り方を探究。絵画・版画・インスタレーションを横断しながら、とくに絹布と木版技法を組み合わせることで、半透明の空間性や光の変化を取り込み、場・時間・鑑賞者の「移ろうあいだ」を可視化する表現を展開している。
また、文化人類学とアートを接続する独自のワークショップやアートプロジェクトを国内外で実施し、アートと社会を結ぶ実践を継続している。
Born in Tokyo in 1975. Based in Tokyo and Milan.
After studying sociology (cultural anthropology) at Keio University, she moved to Italy in 2001 and graduated from the Painting Department of the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera. Supported by the PolA Art Foundation (2008–09) and the Agency for Cultural Affairs (2010–11), she conducted artistic production and research in Italy focusing on the relationship between artworks and the spatiality of historical architecture. She has since continued exhibiting and developing research internationally with support from the The Japan Foundation and the Nomura Foundation. Her works are currently represented by galleries in Italy, Switzerland, and Japan.
In addition to participating in exhibitions and art fairs, she has created installations in diverse historical settings—including private residences, ruins, churches, and Shinto shrines—approaching each site as a form of fieldwork.
Grounded in both anthropology and fine art, her practice explores culturally and generationally shifting, multi-dimensional ways of seeing and embodied perception, as well as relational and relative perspectives that shape and reshape boundaries. Working across painting, printmaking, and installation, she combines silk and woodblock techniques to incorporate translucency and changing light, visualizing the relationships that emerge between site, time, and viewer.
Alongside her artistic practice, she develops workshops and art projects that connect cultural anthropology and contemporary art, continuing her efforts to bridge art and society both in Japan and internationally.
