at Belger Crane Yard Studios
2011 Tracy Avenue, Kansas City, MO 64108
Digital Debut artist Momoko Usami plays with movement in her work—scrolled boxes that require a turn by the viewer to reveal more or bud vase that hinges open to accept a flower. Usami states, “My role as an artist is to enrich a person’s everyday life by being able to touch and feel my work, and by discovering fresh views through it.”
Momoko Usami received a BFA and MFA from Kyoto City University of Art in Kyoto, Japan. She now works out of her personal studio in rural Missouri near Kansas City where she teaches small art classes for the community.
Usami’s work will be available for purchase online and at the Belger Crane Yard Gallery from August 2 through September 28, 2024.
