“See You There" presents over a decade of contemporary multidisciplinary artist Nishiki Sugawara-Beda’s work and practice, from her delicate and meticulous sumi, acrylic and watercolor paintings on paper and wood, to large-scale sculpture, to her process of making her own sumi ink.

This reinforces the dual presence of intimacy and powerful complexity that characterizes much of Sugawara-Beda’s oeuvre.  Her works compel the viewer to get close, to move before it, and to spend time with it – the small and the large, and their countless associations, are all contained within.
