Masumi Nakaoka1978-

In drawing, she takes a picure of the scenery and draws the scenery as it is but brandnew unformed silhouette by repeating images. Since such plane ground are replaced by colurs and the compositon of medium and therefore creatinig the motifs as fragments of memories with losing a sense of matter. Using resin paint and cashews, she composes unique plane works.　Her recent residency in Thailand enlarges her challange with fresh motifs around the artist.
