About Mariko Kitano
At her home in the bucolic countryside of Ehime Prefecture, artist Mariko Kitano finds inspiration in the botanical wonders around her, from the herbs that grow in her garden to the wildflowers dotting the local hills. To create each design, she draws in soft wax with a needle, then carves away the excess to make a finely detailed mold. It is this meticulous process that allows her to reproduce the beautiful, delicate structures that populate her world.
