一枚の絵から立ち上がる、スペース、プロダクト＆ワーズ
一枚の絵が光や装飾となってスペースを演出し、映像となって時間を共有し、
プロダクトになって役割を持つような展開をいつもイメージしています。

From a single image, spaces, products, and words emerge.
I always have a vision from the initial piece of work,
which grows from a flat piece of art into an installation of light and imagery where the work fills and occupies a space,
into a visual moving image that unfolds over time, or into a purposeful product.
I enjoy creating unlimited forms of art from one idea.
Graphic Artist based in Tokyo
Drawing flowers, plants, and creatures from imagination, Kahori Maki transforms a single picture into products, videos, and scenography.
On top of her own creative pursuits, she has also collaborated with many brands such as Philip Morris, Descente, Apple, and Adobe Systems, working back and forth between analogue and digital methods.
In 2018, Maki held a solo exhibition at Gulla Jonsdottir Atelir /L.A. In 2019, she created a mural in San Diego, and exhibited her works in Taiwan and Hong Kong, amongst other places. Currently, she continues her creative work with a focus on drawing.
Maki has been awarded the Jury Recommended Work, Art Division, at the 12th Japan Media Arts Festival, as well as the Silver Award, at Gullblyanten (The Gold Pencil), a Norwegian award hosted by Kreativt Forum to celebrate creativity and visual communication.
She studied at The Art Students League of New York after graduating from the Department of Design, Nihon University College of Art.
