Ongoing Artist Demonstration at SOFA WEST

Represented by TAI Gallery, Santa Fe, NM

One of the most artistically gifted of the younger generation of Japanese bamboo artists, Morigami's parents are both bamboo artisans who work commercially. By the time his work was introduced to collectors in the United States, he was so consumed with earning a living for his family that he had given up creating new artwork. Today, Western interest has breathed new life into his career. He is presently working on a series of topography-themed sculpture made in a style of hexagonal plaiting that is a radical departure from the traditional.

Morigami's pieces are part of collections at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Denver Art Museum and the Museum of Art and Design in New York City. In 2004, he was a finalist for the prestigious Cotsen Prize.
