About Yoneko

Yoneko’s work emerges from a deep, intuitive process rooted in the subconscious. For her, art is both a form of personal healing and a universal language—one that creates space for reflection, connection, and quiet understanding. Through her practice, she invites viewers into a shared experience that encourages emotional honesty, inner calm, and a renewed sense of joy in simply being.

Her work often reflects the essence of childhood—the innocence, curiosity, and resilience that reside within us all. Guided by the belief that humanity shares a common spirit, Yoneko’s art seeks to transcend boundaries, touching something both collective and deeply personal.

She is currently dedicated to helping revive Momigami (もみがみ), a traditional Japanese technique of kneaded paper. Through this nearly forgotten art form, she explores texture, memory, and the enduring value of craftsmanship—honouring cultural heritage while opening space for contemporary interpretation, and passing on the shared memory embedded within Momigami.

Her independent research has led her to experiment with combining Momigami with fabric, as well as integrating it into other media such as silver and metal. Through this evolving body of work, Yoneko documents a continuous transformation—revealing art within art, and suggesting that artistic practice itself is a living, breathing entity.
