Lives and works in Tokyo, Japan
Emi Miyashita’s practice consists of micro scale pencil drawings each framed individually in installations. The installations are based on domestic spaces such as an old lady’s living room or a corridor in an old house to represent the drawings as documents of explorations in the past. The artist uses a small-scale drawings for representing the strength and fragility of humans at the same time. The main subjects in Miyashita’s practice include the human existence, life and death, the structure of the curious sexualities of the human, and the use of sexual images in a non-sexual way.
