June 1, 2024—July 20, 2024 | Reception Satruady June 1st, 4-6PM

James Harris Gallery is pleased to present our first solo exhibition by American artist Lena Takamori who currently lives in the United Kingdom. Working primarily in ceramics, her small-scale sculptures are culled from her imagination. Titled “Light and Pit”, this exhibition explores the artist’s interest in liminality as the point where light and darkness merge. Her figurative work is an investigation of the female body. The figures emerge into perceptibility as well as bare the bones that give the body its strength. Takamori’s landscapes of a tree, house or clouds become aesthetic thresholds wherein she visualizes the moments of transition.
