The artist

“I want to depict the overlapping layers of time, space, and memory.”

Yoda Tomo

Yoda Tomo is an artist based in Japan. For her the line is the smallest element that can give a picture space and presence: colour on a white ground, sometimes collage, then fine pen lines drawn over it, layer on layer, until time and space come to the surface. Boxes and small buildings, towns, a tower, a circus tent return through the works, under night blues and a yellow moon.
