I have to admit, I’d never heard of the artist, Yuriko Yamaguchi but after learning about her work, which is featured in the Hirshorn and American Art Museum, among others, I am quite taken with her philosophy. She believes that the potential for art is everywhere — especially in the mundane everyday things that might be taken for granted. She recently completed a piece called “Seeds of Desire” based on some entangled acorn roots that she had collected and tucked away in her closet. Another exhibit was called “Floating Web” based on the inner wires and chips in old computers. I love the humor related to this particular exhibit as expressed in this Washington Post article,<\/p>\n
