Born in Kagawa, Japan, 1978. Lives and works in New York. Born in Japan to an architect father and a mother who liked to sew and make puppets, Kawai seems to have absorbed the talents of both of her parents in her own unique way. Since childhood she has enjoyed drawing, sewing, and making toys and dolls. She continues to employ these practices on a larger scale today, using, in her sculpture and installations, a riot of methods to make nearly every object appearing in her miniature worlds. And although her mother’s needlework was impeccable, Misaki favored a more haphazard handmade look.
