Masako Miki

Masako Miki has exhibited her immersive felt sculptural installations and watercolor works on paper in the U.S. and internationally including the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive and the de Young Museum. Inspired by Shinto’s animism, Miki attempts crafting new mythologies concerning cultural identity as social collectives.

Miki’s work is in collections at San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Colección Solo in Spain, The Byrd Hoffman Water Mill Foundation, Facebook, Inc., and Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive. Miki’s monumental outdoor public art installation is on view at Uber HQ in San Francisco and OH Bay cultural coastal park in Shenzhen China. She is currently working on Mina and Natoma Street Corridor Project with SFMOMA and SFAC designing functional sculptures. Miki is a native of Japan and currently based in Berkeley, California. She is represented by CULT Aimee Friberg Exhibitions in San Francisco, and Ryan Lee Gallery in New York.
