Tomoko Ninomiya is from Tokyo.Working with wax,rice paper,tiny light boxes, she has created a series of illuminated paintings that hover in the darkness like ancient cave paintings suddenly stumbled upon by candle light. these delicate works are quiet and reflective.Referring to a childhood love of things translucent,the artist works toward that delicate balance between the visible and the invisible.
