About the Item

Materials: Handmade paper, paper string, wax After working as a textile artist for nearly two decades, in 1998, Iwasaki began making both baskets and her own paper. In 2000, her new work was included in the influential In Our Hands Exhibition, in Nagoya, Japan. "I make works in which elements are "piled" she explained in the 2011 catalog, Stimulus: Art and Its Inception. "They are like small boxes of air and a record of the everyday. I use washi paper that I make myself as the main material. When I use commercial paper I feel the difference in the material."
