Hisae Sasaki

I began my career as an assistant graphic designer in three design offices in Tokyo. In 2003, after a decade of working as an assistant designer, I became an independent-freelance designer, and started exploring and practicing calligraphy in 2005, Japanese flower arrangement in 2008 which I unite in my three dimensional art work today.




The idea for my collage work came from the Japanese concept of "Kintsugi", which is the art of fixing broken pottery by applying golden lacquer on the cracks, making something imperfect even more beautiful. Through my art work, I show how I accept and live with my own imperfections, or the scars from her past, emphasizing the grace that can come from one's brokenness.
I have shown my artwork at solo and group exhibitions in NY, Paris, Tokyo.
