Hiroko Tsuchida
About
Hiroko Tsuchida is an artist who brings forth works from a refined sense of will. The materials imbued with this will are the objects that color her daily life. Each of these objects has its own mission and is shaped to fulfill that mission. The objects that accompany her as they fulfill their missions resonate with her own will. The works created from this resonance have guided her to where she is today. Her works, shaped by over 30 years of experience, remind her that her potential is far from exhausted. She aims to reach ever higher levels, believing that this space and these works will guide her toward the self she aspires to be.
Material, shape, dimension, and structure all express the philosophy of Hiroko Tsuchida. According to the artist, the concepts she wants to express wander around her mind and finally materialize as solid forms. There is something invisible in everyday life that disturbs and quickens her heartbeat. This mystery colors her world and inspires her to create works of art. Tsuchida transforms safety pins, bells, band-aids, whistles, scissors, and other ready-made objects into conceptual tools for “self-reflection.” Using these everyday items as “forms of media,” she endows them with new meanings, urging viewers to reconsider the implications of these newly constructed images.
