Yuri Shibata immerses herself in the ephemera of her surroundings. A number of performance related projects have lead her to examine various environs and filter that experience through tangible works of art that convey a more accessible and potent message to the viewer. This concept is best exemplified in a series of prints made from daily collections of dust from museum galleries. She has also ground pigments and prepared paints from natural materials such as cherry blossoms and her own hair. This paint was then used to produce an image of the object that was destroyed to make the paint. These processes call to mind the fragility of life and the cyclical nature of all living things.
