Summary
Maiko Ito is a Japanese-born artist based in the Bay Area and Kobe Japan, exploring the transient and constructed nature of landscapes through her work. Drawing from her experiences moving between Japan and California, she examines fleeting moments, shifting perspectives, and the unseen layers of place and environment. Her practice engages with the subtle interplay of memory, perception, and the fluid boundaries between self and surroundings.
