Artist
Asami Kato
Born 1952, Saitama
Traces of ancient Rome remain throughout Europe. I have expressed, in sculptural form, landscapes spun from those strata of history.
The sea of Venice, the rocky peaks of the Dolomites— in the lands built by people who once fled the demise of the empire, the breath of that age still dwells.
No human figures appear in my work. Within the townscapes, among the cobblestones, canals, and windowsills, please imagine the people who live there, and their breath.
