Akiko Mori was born in Japan and studied sculpture at Art University in Tokyo. She had numerous group and solo exhibitions in Japan and Singapore. In 2022 she opened her new studio in Helsinki. In her sculptures, Akiko expresses the volume of a shape. Physics and mathematics are the guide post by which Akiko expresses her art to find unintended results, and so discover the unexpected. She is interested in how physical properties, such as clay density and water content, affect the fluidity of the clay. Mori tries to let the properties express themselves naturally without trying to suppress them, letting physical and chemical effects take their course.

“The grid allows the viewer to see the whole shape by looking through it and fully experiencing it in three dimensions. The works strip down the clay to its bare essentials to be as minimal as possible. By reducing the amount of material things, the existence of space becomes larger, and even the existence of shadows begins to take on greater meaning.”
