Chika Ito



Chika Ito
1000 Nights
an installation with 1000 drawings on paper

Reception Friday, January 12, 6-9pm
Exhibition continues through Feb. 2 2007


For her first exhibition In Chicago, Chika Ito has produced 1000 postcard sized papers, with silver inked circles. 1000 thoughts, 1000 nights; psychological mapping of her first winter in 's-Hertogenbosch, Holland.

Ito explains that "All hand drawn circles together would become structure;they are derived from my everyday emotions.  Based on the very personal motivation, they explore the visual presentation of spontaneous repetition.  This case, my own feeling as a source of creativity, put together, they transcend physical performances to visual coherence.

Born in Niigata, Japan, Ito lives and works in 's-Hertogenbosch, The Netherlands. Ito studied at Southern Illinois University, Carbondale 1996 -2000.
