Concept
Miyu Yamada creates works which project the beings which live between the gaps of the currents of time periods and society. She uses materials like soil as an intermediate existence between the city and nature, capturing the characteristic untethered, floating feeling and evasiveness of the modern person.
She develops a series of works based on drawings with raised lines and works using pastels. The creatures that appear in her works are depicted as the viewers themselves as well as Yamada herself as she looks at the rapidly changing times and intersecting societies.
