Yuriko Miyoshi 1962 Born in Osaka, Japan 1985 Graduated from Tokyo Zokei University of Art & Design 1989 Completed Printing Art course at Postgraduate course of Musashino Art University 1994 Internship for Artists under the Agency for Cultural Affairs Yuriko Miyoshi seems to be adept at describing a world through colored corrosion etching prints with a sense of humor, intellect and tenderness of feeling. An apparatus to remind us the memory of different dimension had gotten rusting unwillingly. Strange and fascinating hands, which are a symbol of her exciting curiosity, are giving a signal it. She is walking through various towns and streets in some strange lands being very exciting of their magic. Nevertheless she don't know the language in these lands. It is very important for her to meet novel things and people in such strange lands. She put all those things in her etching by transcribing ink from copy papers to copper plates. The signal extending in our heart, her etching works satisfy our poetical space in ourselves and lead us to good mood.
