Helena Kaori Maeda

My work is symbolic/abstract with figurative details. My attention goes intuitive to the hidden forms, ...balance... I am fascinated of micro and macro perspectives. I use wood, paper, metal, paint, textile, mix of soft and hard materials that challenges and allows me to discover new aspects. Kinetic sculptures are often made together with Frank Hietbrink. We would like our sculptures to be inspired on nature, interactive and playful.
