A beautiful catalogue documenting the practice of Japanese sculptor and painter Aiko Miyawaki. This intimate little book designed by Kohei Sugiura showcases many of Miyawaki's signature brass sculptures. In the publication design transparent and silver paper stocks convey the dynamic, reflective qualities of Miyawaki's brass installations to the book form. This publication also opens with a forward by Man Ray written in 1964.
