Highlights from the Collection: Niho Kozuru’s The Rising Column

Kozuru’s vibrant sculptures blend the elegant forms of American Colonial architecture with unexpected materials and colors. The Boston-based Japanese artist reimagines these traditional wood-turned elements using glass, rubber and, most recently, wax. Her use of New England domestic architecture stems from her childhood home in Topsfield, Massachusetts, and an interest in the relationship between personal history and physical space.
