Mami Yamanaka
Mami Yamanaka
is a visual artist who challenges and explores new
media in her work.
The main focus of her art practice is exploring the
concept of her original idiosyncratic drawn motifs by creating patterns
from the motif within an installation space to express her own experience
of cultural relocation and consequent transcendence of her identity.
Her use of various methods (eg: Painting, Printing, Engraving, Sculpting,
and Digital Video) give her work a unique contemporary element while
her original motifs express the influence of her inherited traditional
Japanese culture.
Mami is also exploring the Internet as an artistic
medium, mainly through the activity of the YamanakaNash unit
