Exhibition | Kimiyo Mishima, 'FRAGILE' at Nonaka-Hill, Los Angeles, United States

This article profiles Japanese artist Kimiyo Mishima, whose ceramic sculptures meticulously replicate discarded newspapers, cans, and other trash. Mishima, who died recently, began her career with painting and collage before pioneering a technique in 1971 of silk-screening and painting thin clay sheets rolled with an udon noodle roller to create fragile, lifelike sculptures of garbage. Her work was shaped by her experience growing up in postwar Osaka and her revulsion at consumer culture's disposable nature, leading her to collect trash from the streets of New York and Paris during artist grants.
