Born in Tokyo in 1968. Received a BFA from the Department of Sculpture at Tama Art University in Tokyo. Shortly after graduating from the university, Yokomizo has presented large site-specific installations not only in galleries but also in many museums including Art Tower Mito, the Museum of Modern Art, Saitama, the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo, Kawamura Memorial DIC Museum of Art. When she creates three-dimension works, she uses materials such as plastics, transparent tubes, crystals, salt and so on, which are contrary to heavy and solid images of the sculpture. Those works made of light and clear materials make us aware of the existance of uncertain and invisible things we cannot ordinalily perceive. In recent years, Yokomizo has been working on a series of canvas works using threads coated with oil. The works are produced by the traces of oil-coated threads pinched and snapped on canvas over and over again. In that way, a large number of lines on canvas overlaps each other horizontally and vertically and forms the layers like a woven fabric, which reminds of the accumulation of unseen time and actions.
