Born in Japan but now living and working in New York City, artist Kumi Yamashita does incredible things with light and shadows. Kumi has an impressive list of solo and group shows sine the late 90s along with a host of permanent collections around the world.
In her series entitled Light & Shadow, Kumi uses a single light source along with an assortment of perfectly placed objects to create incredible shadow silhouettes and artwork on walls. One aspect I wanted in my own work was the idea of shadow and creating a mood. Shadows are a great way of creating a mood and the light and dark shades work very well, so this artist helped me to get a sense of what I wanted my own work to look like.
