Nami Yamamoto's colorful, flat, cutout shapes are inspired by bubble formations-from a simple circle to complex intersecting orbs. She alters the function of vinyl and plastic, materials typically used in commercial manufacturing, to create simple yet suggestive forms such as bubbles or honeycombs. Her carefully composed installations often resemble landscapes that seem to crawl across floors, emerge from walls or float in mid air. Somewhere between microcosm and macrocosm, the colorful shapes create an environment continually shifting from reality to illusion, titillating the imagination yet denying closure.
