About the Item

BIO: Fuko Ito was born and raised in Kobe, Japan where she grew up attending a British Christian elementary school and a Canadian International School. She moved to the US to study at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago to receive her BFA and has recently graduated and received her MFA in Visual Arts from the University of Kansas. Her work attempts to playfully explore and illuminate feelings of vulnerability and sensations of discomfort informed by her cross-cultural upbringing through her plushy, sentimental beings called fumblys . ARTIST STATEMENT: My work imagines a soft, empathetic, alternate universe inhabited by a community of naked, plushy creatures called fumblys . As I observe my own interactions with people and environments, digesting the social, political, and cultural climate of our time, and looking back to historical tragedies and precedents of mistreatment of each other, I try to make sense of how we can collectively learn to nurture empathy. Through my image making process in drawing, I attempt to understand how personal and collective conflicts arise and the ways in which we learn to cope, mend, and forgive each other. I am driven to make work by imagining a world that is softer and more forgiving, as I reflect on the social implications and struggles of living among a community of emotional beings. I pursue to envision a tender and more empathetic world driven by the notion of image-making as a quest for visibility. Creating imagery through drawing allows for a process in which I am able to rearrange the conditions of the world and visualize a more compassionate version or reflection of ourselves. By giving visual form to feelings, I believe that images can make the world a less menacing and more cooperative place. I want my work to be visually radiant and conceptually hopeful of our own future. The plushy world of fumblys is not a vision of a hopeless romantic but is a world of soft, affectionate sensations that exists in protest to the oftentimes unforgiving social structures that we as people live in.
