Momoko Usami is originally from Tokyo and makes functional works with a sculptural mind. She wants to make people more conscious about the motion that is created by touching a work of art. According to Usami her role as an artist is to enrich someone's everyday life by touching her work and discovering fresh views. For Usami, art isn't just a tool for self-expression but also a way to recognize daily consciousness.
