Sachiko Akiyama - March 2022

Sachiko Akiyama received her MFA in sculpture from Boston University and her work is represented by Tracey Morgan Gallery in Asheville, NC. Her sculptures exert a quiet, physical and psychological presence. She is interested in how tactile, physically assertive forms can describe the psyche – not a specific emotion of though, but rather a state of concentration and introspection. Akiyama has exhibited widely in the United States and she has received multiple fellowships and grants including the Piscataqua Artist Advancement Grant, the Joan Mitchell Fellowship, and the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation Grant. Her work is in the permanent collections of the deCordova Museum and Gordon College. She currently resides in Portsmouth, NH.
