ABOUT

Born in Japan and raised in Hong Kong and Switzerland, Mitsumori spent 13 years living abroad, an experience that continues to shape cultural and aesthetic sensitivity of her work. She began her artistic practice in traditional Japanese painting, working with natural pigments and inherited techniques. As she began formulating her own pigments from raw minerals, her focus gradually shifted, moving away from representation toward material as subject.

Her current work explores the boundaries of form through compositions shaped by the principles of Mono-ha and grounded in the interplay of contrasting forces—natural and industrial, minimal and maximal, presence and absence. Material selection is central to her approach: each element is chosen for its intrinsic qualities—texture, weight, origin—and placed in deliberate juxtaposition with its counterpart. These dualities are not viewed as opposites to be reconciled, but as active participants in a dynamic visual and material dialogue.
