This Denver artist is going international with her woodworking.... especially for this stunning chair that you can find at DenverArtMuseum
Kishimoto’s path to becoming a furniture designer was just as organic as her creative process — unfolding gradually, naturally and not without its own challenges. Growing up outside of Boston in a family of scientists, she always figured she would go to school for something more “certain.” But her creativity was undeniable from a young age and was recognized by her dad, a microbiologist with interests in photography and whittling.
She remembers one of her first projects was a small balsa-wood sculpture that formed a perfect square — but only when viewed from above. “My professor was like, ‘That’s intention!’" Kishimoto recalls."I always thought that you had to be very overt. It was the first time I realized that your intention as an artist doesn’t have to be the interpretation people take away from the object.”
That approach has enabled Kishimoto to explore the balance between design and fine art. She believes that good design is intuitive, and through interaction, you should be able to figure out how an object is supposed to work. Fine art, on the other hand, is more emotional; it’s about inspiring somebody to create their own narrative and build a relationship with the object. “But they overlap a lot,” she adds. “Even my dad would say that there’s a lot of fine art and design elements in science.
This is just one of Kishimoto’s many creative explorations of the intersection between form and function. “It’s a piece of art inspired by a table,” she explains.
