Emi Ozawa

Emi Ozawa (born 1962) is a Japanese visual artist. Originally from Tokyo, Ozawa lives and works in Albuquerque, NM.[1] She studied woodworking at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia and later earned an MFA in furniture design from the Rhode Island School of Design. Ozawa creates painted wood wall sculptures that optically shift when viewed from different perspectives.[2] These wall paintings are constructed from many pieces of wood that are screwed together to construct a dimensional surface.[3] Color is strategically arranged to create compositions that shift when viewed from different perspectives.[4] Her sophisticated surface application and meticulous design reveal an emphasis on craftsmanship.[5] Her work is associated with constructivism and minimalism.
