Nested in one of Hin\u00e9 Mizushima<\/a>\u2019s wooden dioramas is an ancient marine menagerie. Vibrant blue felt lines the walls of the plush environment, which houses a pair of ammonites along with tall seagrass and small bits of coral reef.<\/p>\n From her Vancouver studio, Mizushima stitches whimsical renditions of underwater creatures. Her soft, fiber sculptures take a playful approach to natural life, sometimes perching an octopus atop a human heart or finding a moray eel slithering out of an artery. Often depicted in pastel colors and adorned with beads and crocheted details, the creatures are friendly and even glitzy interpretations of their real-life counterparts.<\/p>\n The works shown here will be on view in Mizushima’s solo show Creatures and Curiosities<\/em> on view from September 14 to October 22 at Boris Zakkaten<\/a> in Tokyo.
