Aichi Triennale

Kubo received her MFA from Texas Christian University in 2013. Based on her research into theories of prehistoric art, ethnic and folk art, and cultural anthropology, she creates sculptural works using agricultural supplies such as wire mesh, tarps, and windbreak nets. Themes include natural threats, destruction and restoration of heritage, and representations of marginalized women. Through her works, Kubo encourages the application of contemporary perspectives to reflect on the images that are the physical form of mythology and prayer, and on the beauty embodied in practical objects that have emerged from everyday life. Awards include the Hiroshima Cultural Newcomer Award (2022), and the Grand Prize, Rokko Meets Art (2017). Large works are in the collections of KAMU Kanazawa (Ishikawa, Japan), Chishima Foundation for Creative Osaka (Japan), and Izak Co., Ltd. (Toyama, Japan).
