Yoko is a Japanese–Czech American sculptor based in California and working in Pietrasanta, Italy. She creates abstract forms in marble and stone, with work in bronze and stainless steel, for architecture, gardens, private collections, and public space. Her sculptures use curves, openings, and movement to bring a sense of the natural world into built environments.Yoko's Carrara marble sculpture Tides is permanently installed at the University of San Francisco.

More About This Creator
Q&A
How do your pieces come to life? Tell us one interesting thing about your creative process?
"I try to express emotions through shapes. Many of my woks are inspired by classical mythology. Thinking about Echo for example and how I might express her persona and psychology in a shape."
Yoko KQ&A
What do you want people to do or feel when they encounter your creations?
"I would love to open the doors for people to sculpture. I love sculpture and grew up around it, it is my highest passion. Sculpture is the only object that exists for the sake of itself, as a form of pure expression."
Yoko KQ&A
What is your favorite material to work with?
"Marble. Marble is a special material which I love because of it's natural beauty and the way light permeates the top layers of the stone giving it a soft glow."
