Presenting more sculptural objects that balance strength with lightness, this new collection sees an exciting incorporation of sound, with some interactive pieces making soft chiming sounds when interacted with. Crafted from copper, nickel, brass, silver, and acrylic, her works bring together broad metal surfaces, fine linear structures, and simple geometric forms. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLarge planes appear to float on slender supports, while circles, curves, and delicate frameworks create a sense of movement and suspension.

Rich patinated surfaces lend depth and character to the metal, producing strong silhouettes while retaining a warm, irregular softness. Rather than appearing harsh or industrial, the works possess a quiet sensitivity, where line, form, surface, and space exist in careful equilibrium.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout the Artist \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product__block product__description rte\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product__description__content rte\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLiisa Hashimoto is a contemporary artist based in Kobe, Japan, whose sculptural works are inspired by the subtle rhythms of nature and the quiet details of everyday life.
