Illuminated Box "Scilla" - Tomoko Suzuki


[The first slide is the box in its illuminated state.]

From Seattle-based artist Tomoko Suzuki's GLOW Series. The illuminated box features Tomoko's original paintings and drawings using Posca marker on layers of mulberry paper and vellum. The box is a wood frame and contains an LED light illuminating the layers. The box is meant to be hung on a wall. Just plug in. 

"Inspired by the dark winter months here in the Northwest, I have been working on a body of work that illuminates space. I feel the most creative when it starts to rain in October here in western Washington. Since many people desire sunshine, I wanted to provide a visual escape with my illuminated artwork. This exhibition is a reminder that spring is right around the corner, and we can generate our own inner glow while we wait."
