The sculptures of Yumiko Yoneda have a recognizable form. They are round, white or gray, silent and have an organic volume tensed from the inside. They are often placed on the wall, but also in space, on a pedestal or directly on the floor. Sometimes a sculpture is alone, sometimes in a group.
Details have been deliberately omitted and the strong presence of the shape is focused on. Yoneda creates the form that is valuable to her and seeks a certain logic in the visual language. The shape remains abstract and still. This expresses subdued feelings.
Applied technique is curving and modeling. Most of the materials used are plaster, modeling paste, polystyrene and bronze.
