Shima Iuchi

Illuminations

September 9 - October 22, 2006

Shima Iuchi combines her respect for and knowledge of Japanese traditions such as papermaking with the social and geographical landscape of her adopted country, Canada. She is interested in the history of people of Japanese heritage in Canada with an emphasis on British Columbia. Iuchi has researched the Japanese-Canadian community in and around Richmond, including Steveston and Finn Slough. Her work combines traditional Japanese techniques in the form of paper crafts and lanterns with photography, collected personal narratives and site-specific geographic exploration.
