Yoshiko Okada

Yoshiko Okada’s glass art is connected to her Japanese background and her experiences in Europe. She explores the synergy and paradoxes that these different influences have created. Combined, this leads to an identity, a lifestyle and consciousness. She works with kiln-cast glass, concentrating on forms of simplicity. Her work explores themes such as memory, identity, time and the human condition. Although seemingly complex, this often leads to simple forms of expression or symbolism.
