Detail
“Isshu Mawaru” is a game in which she walks around carrying a case containing her sculptural work, Aibō (Companion), on her back. When she finds a place that catches her attention, she takes Aibō out and makes one full circle.
The rules are simple: start from a chosen point and return to that same point. That is all. Aibō has a single wheel, and she pushes it along using the handle attached to its back. As she changes its materials and form, the series continues to grow; this is the sixth iteration. With an Aibō that matches the glittering night of Roppongi, she shares a little spin of joy.

Kumiko Sato
Born in Gifu, Japan. Lives in Tokyo. Completed the Master’s Programme in Oil Painting and Printmaking at the Graduate School of Fine Arts, Aichi University of the Arts. Her practice begins with small moments of friction and excitement found in everyday life. Using familiar materials such as cardboard, she makes works by thinking with her hands and allowing the process to remain playful.
