However, in this new body of work, she further explores her geometric abstractions, offering a more direct view of her technical mastery as she adheres to a single-process approach to study the possibility of endless permutations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn previous abstract works, Kusaka often ended a line or grid pattern once it became distorted by the curvature of the pot, producing fragmented, interlocking patterns that appear as overlapping drawings, contradicting the three-dimensional volume. In these new works, however, she takes an almost topographic approach by carving, painting, and even drawing with pencil intricate lines along the surfaces of each pot, allowing the shape of each vessel to dictate the curves of the lines.For over thirty years, \u003cb\u003eGagosian Gallery\u003c\/b\u003e has served as a global network with over a dozen exhibition spaces in the United States, Europe, and China, specializing in contemporary and modern art.
