Tsuyu Bridwell works across various media, employing traditional crafts (origami, crochet knitting) to create installations and sculptural objects that confront questions of collective memory and ancestral rituals.
Many of her works present intricate natural subjects (a swarm of butterflies, a school of jellyfish, a spider’s web) using diverse materials and techniques that conveys a contemporary vision of phantasmagoria.
The viewer is initiated to her world through a meditative visual experience.
Born in Tokyo to a Korean father and Japanese mother (both artists), Tsuyu studied dance and music at the Centre de danse international Rosella Hightower in Cannes, France. She went on to study drama and theater at the Conservatoire National Supérieur d’art dramatique de Paris, working some years as an actor. Her career in the performing arts has enriched her work as a visual artist, facilitating an organic flow of expression between her pieces and their audience.
She lives and works in Paris.
