Tsugumi Maki
School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
Born in 1972, Tsugumi Maki moved to the United States from Japan at an early
age. She received her BS In Cinema and Photography from Ithaca
College in Ithaca, New York and she is currently an MFA candidate in Critical
and Visual Studies at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.
Tsugumi’s most recent work deals with documentation of memory through
photography and words. She examines the personal, yet universal
qualities of remembrances which stem from her experiences as an Asian female
raised in a foreign culture. Her incorporation of text with
photographic images evoke montages of memories and of thoughts; projected
from artist to viewer. This examination explores not only the
identity of memory, but the imaginative capabilities of the viewer as well.
