Keiko Mukaide

Keiko MukaideKeiko Mukaide (Born 1954 Tokyo, Japan) is an internationally renowned [http://www.aestheticamagazine.com/gfx/18keiko.pdf] Japanese artist currently living and working in the UK. She studied glass at the Royal college of Art in London and was awarded a research fellowship from the Edinburgh College of Art. She has work in many public and private collections in the UK and was shortlisted for the 1998 Jerwood Prize for applied art.

Her art work employs a number of glass making techniques, casting and fusing glass in a kiln, manipulating glass in a blowing studio and even gluing shards of dichroic glass to wire nets. Her recent work has been to produce large scale, site specific installations constructed from multiple small scale glass items. "Memory of Place" funded by The Arts Council of England and Scottish Arts Council at York St. Mary's, Castlegate, York is a good example of this approach.
