EDI-E1-00011xx “Profile,” by artist Kumi Yamashita.

You really have to see Yamashita’s work to understand how truly awesome it is.

In this 2018 piece, “Profile,” Yamashita usesa series of letters and numbers, illuminated by a single light, to project a shadow, silhouetted profile. Awesome.

From the exhibit: “The shadow of a man’s profile emerges from a windswept assortment of letters and numbers mounted to a wall. … [T]he composition suggests the juxtaposition between our inner selves and the daily onslaught of information we must process”.

Her work is absolutely awesome.

Various pieces from this series (and others) were recently on exhibit at the Wichita Museum of Art in Kansas (USA), the Chimei Museum in Tainan City (Taiwan), the Birmingham Museum of Art in Alabama (USA), and the Mississippi Museum of Art in Jackson, Mississippi (USA)–all in 2019.

She received her Master of Fine Arts Degree from Glasgow School of Art and her Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle, Washington.
