Nissa Nishikawa’s multidimensional practice comprises encoded ancestral rituals into the living mediums of ceramics, glass, textiles, steel, wood, moving image, olfactories, sound and dance.
She researches and interprets traditional forms of dance, ritual and craft in ways that illuminate animistic and alchemical philosophies with an embodied and structural approach. Nishikawa often works in the open-air and studios equipped to house fire; interconnecting the layers of the arcane with the supra-sensual, the living earth and various conscious inhabitants.
