About the Item

Presenting "Gauze Box," an intriguing and meticulously crafted abstract sculpture by the acclaimed Japanese-American artist Kiyomi Iwata (b. 1941). This piece, created during the 1990s, exemplifies Iwata's signature exploration of light, space, and the ephemeral nature of perception. "Gauze Box" is a study in contrasts and subtle complexities. Iwata's work often explores the interplay between transparency and opacity, and this sculpture is no exception. The piece appears to be a carefully constructed box, yet its boundaries are blurred by the use of delicate, layered materials—likely a combination of Iwata's characteristic gauze or similar translucent fabrics, juxtaposed with more solid elements. Iwata's work is celebrated for its ability to transform everyday materials into objects of profound beauty and contemplative power. "Gauze Box" is a testament to this, demonstrating her masterful control of form and her ability to create works that are both visually arresting and intellectually stimulating.
