Beru Inou's Interview

Where is your inspiration coming from ?
From my culture (traditional and also pop culture).

What are you trying to communicate in particular with your artwork?
I would like to show what I perceive as Beauty in my daily life and share the feeling through my works.

Which material you prefer to use and why ?
Glass. I studied glass techniques (blowing, cutting, casting etc.) at the art university in Japan 4 years. I still love to work with glass even 15 years later.

How much value do you give to researching material for your creations?
There is a special technique needed for the material sometimes, so researching is important.

Is it more important for you the process, or the final artwork itself?
Actually the final work itself because the people wear it. But I can get the inspiration during the process as well.

Is there an artist you prefer and why ?
James Turrell.

Have you ever thought to collaborate with other artists , or you like to work on your own?
I am interested in collaboration with other artists, but I haven't tried it yet.

Where do you feel you are at with this last collection?  
On the beach watching the sunset.

What have you discovered of yourself, are you satisfied ?
I love glass and colors. Of course yes, I'm satisfied.

​Two words to describe your last artwork collection.
Changing color.
