Sayako Sugawara
Sayako is a London based Japanese artist working with photography, moving image and installation. Using various photographic processes and the cognitive associations that occur in the physical aspect of creative development, her work explores notions of memory and imagination, analysis and poetics, stillness and movement. The tactile aspect of the working process is essential in her practice.
