‘Flower’ brooch in thread and silver

MARI IWAMOTO

Nature, which is mentally very close to me, still inspires me today.
Those worlds, which I usually see in the pictures or movies seem like far away and very special for me and at the same time I feel comfortable to find similarities of unknown forms or colors from them with my inner world.
                               
By drawing, I explore things bigger and wider in my imagination and that also plays an important role in my creation.
