misako inaoka: sharkadees, pirds, & others
San-Francisco based artist Misako Inaoka is interested in the relationship between man and nature. Astroturf and those cell phone towers that mimic pine trees? Right up her alley. Some of her creations make little robotic movements (visit her website to see videos), reinforcing the awkwardness of people’s imitations of nature.
But in an SFBG article, Inaoka says, “I try not to think too much. I just make and make like I was five years old again.”
