About
Danielle Yukari is a Japanese-Brazilian visual artist based in Helsinki, Finland.
Using traditional craft techniques, Yukari’s practice is based on experimentation and informs the freedom and intuition in how the works are made. Her production includes functional objects that are perceived as sculptures and sculptures that can be repurposed into practical tools.
Exploring the craft, meditative, and repetitive gestures involved in ceramic practice and other forms of making, she produces objects in which the act of making is integral to her work.
Working at the intersection of contemporary art, design and craftsmanship, Yukari combines ceramic, fabric, paper, drawing, photography and collected objects to produce sculptures and installations that engage with themes of expanded time, the importance of rituals, and the value of rest. Through this approach, she seeks to activate spaces by encouraging contemplation and interaction with the works on display.
