Sayaka Suzuki is a very dynamic artist within Mayo Island Studio Collective. Her studio, the first space you encounter upon entering MISC, is a wonderland of materials. I will let her Artist Statement speak for itself:
"Everywhere I look, I see decomposition- of abandoned lots, flightless birds, rusted train tracks, forgotten hoops, and tarnished walls of old Richmond. But they are all beautiful- they whisper their existence- ephemeral, serene, and often historicized mementos that resonates potentiality.
I attempt to capture these curiosities in my work- beauty of our recent past and of our unique presence.
My work is a theatrical space, an experience that is created for personal discoveries. At times my work is commemorative, at other times it reflects urgency, and often times it provides a reflective moment. But all of which hopefully transforms a space or an object into a moment of discovery. All reflect the world of possibilities. Through using materials that reflect the sensibility and sensitivity of human hands, such as hand worked glass, fabric, and recycled items, I work to give concrete proof of our existence.
Alongside these notions of decay lies my hopefulness- by reincarnating the forms and challenging the way people see the forms. I investigate the possibilities as I rediscover forgotten histories and lives. My work captures my process of remembering and celebrating while simultaneously imagining our capacity to function as philanthropists.
