About
Danielle Yukari is a Japanese-Brazilian visual artist based in Helsinki, Finland.
Her work explores the craft, meditative and repetitive gestures involved in the ceramic practice and other forms of making, producing functional objects that often feel like sculptures and sculptures that can be perceived as practical tools. Using traditional craft techniques, Yukari’s creative process is based on experimentation, where the act of making becomes an integral part of her work and it informs the freedom and intuition in how the pieces are made.
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.
