The art created by this Middleton, Wisconsin artist is a physical evidence of connections she finds through research, prayer, discussion, and observation.  She enjoys working within built and natural environments and forming structures through a variety of materials and constructions.  Employing process-oriented methods -- such as casting, sewing, folding, and melting -- emphasizes the handmade quality crucial to her works’ visual elements.  The tactile nature of completed installations and pieces is very important to her, and she desires it to be taken as an invitation to inspire connections between concepts and the physicality of the artwork.  Currently, Iwai is investigating installation ideas based on balance, pattern, and coded language.
