Return (with heart beat sounds), by Yuriko Yamaguchi, 8′ x 12′ x 12′
Resin, stainless steel, wire, 4 speakers, 4 sensors
I’m a recent fan of the work of Yuriko Yamaguchi, but I’m a big one. When I first came across her sculptures and installations, I was simply in awe.

Return (detail)
I cannot imagine what it would be like to witness these in person.

Senility
23″ x 37″ x 9″ Resin, wire

Bubble #1
Vinyl tube and resin

Web #8, 5′x7′x3′
Resin and wire
I love her use of wire armatures to suspend various resin shapes. This is the kind of work I aspire to make one day! Until then, I will continue to be inspired by Yuriko Yamaguchi’s amazing talent. See much more here.

I love the negative space! “Return (with heart beat sounds)” really seems alive. Or maybe like a cloud of bees.
Maybe you would be interested in the sculpture of Brooke Mullins: http://www.brookemullins.com/index.html
