Inez Ishizaki’s expression is rooted in drawing, she combines this with a variety of media such as installation, scenography, and the printing arts. A graphical approach is taken to the question of space: how to enfold space both within drawings and by means of drawings as structural elements. 

She perceives her growing body of work as a spacious house with a myriad of sliding doors. Rooms can be rearranged in size and function, corridors appear in unexpected places, the scenery painted on the sliding panels change and the view to the outside often gets obstructed. Within these rooms one is a witness to peculiar intimacies, where bodily habits and exchanges of looks turn into motifs and textures start forming stories of their own. Continuous acts of enveloping, fragmenting and layering one’s line of sight is what keeps her practice, and this house, in motion.
