Employing old-world craft techniques, Kelly Akashi brings a delicately glass-blown flower to life, breathing into existence from the artist’s cast bronze hands with profound dexterity and deep material knowledge. Akashi’s practice cultivates intricate relationships among materials and subjects to investigate her pervasive fascination with the indefinite metamorphosis of the natural world, capturing and indexing the fleeting quality of time, and the kinship of the two.
