About the Artist
Trained at California College of Arts and Crafts and UCLA, she's also studied film at the American Film Institute, explored textile traditions in Japan, and continually absorbed new technologies into her practice. Her work has traveled to museums across Asia—from Taipei to Singapore to Jakarta—and landed in collections ranging from Kaiser Permanente to the Muyogi Museum of Art in Japan. This exhibition at Upstart Modern marks her first show with the gallery, revealing an artist who keeps finding new ways to make nature unrecognizable while somehow making it more visible than ever.
