■ Brief History

小野さぼこ

Saboco Ono
Born in Osaka, 1969; lives and works in Kobe.

I majored lithography at Kyoto Seika University. After receiving a BFA degree, I continued my studies as a research student for a year.
From 2002, I started creating my artwork while working as an art lecturer.
Around that time, I was travelling Asia following ethnic minorities.
I deeply found mysterious and magnetic synchronicity in a diversity of those minorities. 
After coming back from the trip, from 2007, I have been making aluminium artwork with my own techniques.

I understand my artwork has enshrined indigenous and universal strength in continuous patterns and imprints made by physical actions such as embossing on flexible material: thin metal layers of aluminium.

It is like a dialogue tracing back to the memory of aluminium which used to be buried and lain as a part of Mother Earth.
I continue to make my artwork daily, focusing on creating the one resonates profoundly within the body,mystic and fulfills with the cosmic float.
