Yuko Takada Keller

Yuko Takada Keller is a Japanese paper artist who takes tracing paper and creates wonderful  pieces.

She majored in weaving and later started using paper. Yuko appreciated that tracing paper can have both a state of transparency and lack of transparency and clearly used it to her advantage. Her work is light and airy as it stands suspended in mid air, yet as a whole her pieces give the viewer a sense of solidity...something to look at.

Prismatic

It is composed of 7,500 pyramids. The theme of "Prismatic" comes from a shower of light that she felt when surrounded by nature.

Water Plants

"The deep sea 

Billowing comfortably 

Water Plants dancing in line"

Most of her more recent work show a transition in either color or size and are generally within the color scheme of blue, yellow and white. Her inspiration mainly comes from nature-either water, or light. 

Expectation

"The light is shining on us 

Rising up to our dream"

She becomes concious of the skin membrane in the air and she says she can feel invisible things...Taking a look at life & what can not be seen. She feels that if you look, you will find an invisible world.
