kohei nawa is a sculptor, the director of sandwich inc., and a professor at kyoto university of the arts. based in kyoto, japan, nawa focuses on the surface 'skin' of sculpture as an interface connecting to the senses. he began his 'pixcell' series in 2002 based on the concept of the cell, symbolizing the information age. adopting a flexible interpretation of the meaning of sculpture, he produces perceptual experiences that reveal the physical properties of materials to the viewer through works addressing themes related to life and the cosmos.
