SUMIFUDÉ

SUMIFUDÉ (Satomi Suzuki) is an artist with a background in media art and woodblock printmaking.
Her practice reinterprets the concept of “edition” through a topological lens by transposing (“Utsushi”) forms and ideas onto unconventional materials.
Through acts of Utsushi—transference, mediation, and transformation—she explores the temporal and mnemonic layers of experience, questioning the social and structural conditions that shape perception and care.

She studied at the Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA) in Beijing on a government scholarship awarded through the Japan-China Friendship Association, and earned her master’s degree from Tokyo University of the Arts. She is currently a part-time lecturer at the Professional University of International Fashion.

Notable works include SHITEN chair, which adapts the perspective composition of ukiyo-e onto a chair, and Tokyo Dango, a project that translates urban architecture into dango, a traditional sweet made from sticky rice. Her work has been exhibited at the Yamamoto Kanae Printmaking Grand Prize Exhibition (2024), Roppongi Art Night RAN.tv (2021), the Krakow International Print Triennial (2015, Poland), Milan Design Week (2015), and the International Mokuhanga Conference Exhibition (2014).

SUMIFUDÉ（鈴木里美）はメディアアートと木版画の教育背景を持ち、従来とは異なる素材へ「うつしかえる」ことで版の概念をトポロジー的に再解釈する。これら「うつし」の行為を通して、時間と記憶の転写を試み、社会の構造と関係性を問い直す。

日中友好協会派遣政府奨学金により中央美術学院（CAFA）留学、東京藝術大学大学院修士課程修了。国際ファッション専門職大学非常勤講師。
