NOTES
Keiko Miyamori has exhibited internationally, working with washi paper, charcoal, and glass to explore layered time and memory. Time Between Us presents her signature project TIME, alongside No matter what, I am still a part of it, and a new series using ultra-thin layered washi paper.
TIME (2021–present) is an ongoing project in which Miyamori takes daily bark rubbings using her own handmade charcoal and seals each day inside a small glass box. As days accumulate and some are acquired by others, personal memory and shared time subtly intersect.
Miyamori’s grandmother was Nisei—a second-generation Japanese American born in Hawaii who later moved to Japan. The artist herself continues to create work while maintaining family ties between Japan and the United States. Against the historical and contemporary relationship between these two countries across the Pacific, the exhibition also includes drawings and etchings from around 1997—created before Miyamori moved to the United States—alongside new drawings. Lines from different periods are presented together, allowing time itself to emerge as layered presence.
In a world marked by uncertainty and shifting international relationships, this exhibition does not turn away from such realities. Instead, it quietly asks how we might continue to exist as part of the world—holding its shadows, yet choosing connection.
“Between Us” suggests both distance and relationship.
This exhibition offers a space to stand within that in-between, and to reconsider our place in the world.
