Profile

Noriko Steiner-Obata

 

Since moving to Switzerland, I have become more aware of my own cultural traditions. The experience of working in a Kimono atelier in Kyoto has also had a strong influence on my current creative work.
The dialogue between past and present, between East and West, is a recurring theme in my work.
