Artistic Vision: Fall Back, Spring Forward by Hiromi Takizawa

Who: Hiromi Takizawa was born and raised in a small mountain village outside of Nagano, Japan. Curiosity, experimentation, narration and materiality are the core concepts in her work. Takizawa’s recent work is inspired by nature on both sides of the Pacific Ocean in the U.S. and Japan.
What: Takizawa, now based in Santa Ana, has deftly pushed traditional notions of glassmaking to create delicate glass sculptures and immersive installations of neon lights, blown glass and natural sunlight.
