YUKIFU / ABOUT THE ARTIST
YUKIFU
A PRACTICE OF OPEN QUESTIONS
The inner life.
The world outside.
The space between.
YUKIFU explores the unstable relationship between the inner life and the systems that seek to organise it. The practice moves between semi-abstract imagery and sculptural investigations, bringing the unruly logic of childhood drawing into contact with the pressures of contemporary existence.
ARTIST STATEMENT
A form does not
have to settle.
Drawing / Body / MemoryForms emerge as provisional bodies: part creature, part architecture, part unresolved gesture. They expand, repeat, and negotiate the boundaries surrounding them. Childhood appears here not as a place of innocence, but as an early encounter with rules, accumulation, competition, and invented worlds. What begins as play becomes a language for questioning how a life is measured.
At the centre of 's practice is a persistent contradiction: the promise of greater possibility alongside a diminishing sense of room to move. Environmental conditions, social expectations, and technological systems become forces that shape both the body and its representation.
What can a surface reveal?
What escapes capture?
His developing investigations into casting, scanning, and reproduction extend this inquiry into the relationship between an original and its repetitions. What is lost when a body becomes information? Can a copy preserve something beyond resemblance?
Rather than resolve these questions, approaches the work as a place where conflicting states can remain together: vulnerability and resistance, spontaneity and control, recognition and uncertainty.
FROM A MARK TO A PRESENCE
Thinking
through matter.
Cement, plaster and microcement form a material direction for the evolving sculptural studies. The images propose possibilities; physical casting and finishes remain to be tested.
