Of all our everyday objects, it is the humble elastic band, a crease in cloth and the fold of paper that forms a lasting impression on Kei Tominaga. By working with soft metals such as silver and copper, Kei brings to life these fleeting moments that recall the everyday. The result to Kei; “gives the objects a strength that is simple and pure.”

" I CUT BEND, FOLD, CURVE, NARROWING DOWN THE TECHNIQUES IN MY PROCESS, SO THE RESULT IS AS SIMPLE AS POSSIBLE. I LIKE SHARP STRAIGHT EDGES LIKE FOLDED PAPER, COMPLETELY FLAT FACES OR TIGHTLY CURVED EDGES. "
