​​​Concept

​​​My pieces are inspired by the natural beauty of nature and its extraordinary landscapes. Each piece individually explores light, reflection, fluidity, and the interaction between glass and space. The creation of each piece embraces chance, capturing fleeting moments of beauty, which can never be repeated.

These singular moments become the origin of each one-of-a-kind piece.

I am constantly pursuing sculptural forms –– whether worn on the body or experienced within a space –– that embody a quiet yet powerful presence.

自然が生み出す造形美と、その非日常的な風景にインスピレーションを受け、光、反射、流動性、そして空間との相互作用をガラスを通して探求しています。

制作過程で生まれる偶発性がもたらす二度と再現できない一瞬の美しさ。それは唯一無二の作品を生み出す原点です。身に纏うときも、空間に置かれたときも、静かで力強いエネルギーを宿す彫刻的な造形を創り続けています。

Biography

Raised in Kobe, Japan, as the daughter of a tea ceremony and ikebana sensei, I was drawn to Western culture and art from an early age. I began my career as a designer for a major apparel company, where I grew increasingly dissatisfied with the aesthetics of mass production. Seeking a more personal mode of expression, I moved to Italy to pursue further studies and develop my practice.

My work later shifted toward sculptural glass. I began creating chandeliers using an approach that was uncommon at the time, resulting in pieces that appear to float in space. Over time, my practice expanded to include wall installations that respond to architectural space, and eventually to glass jewelry.

Now based in Tokyo, I present my work to collectors and galleries in Japan and internationally. Through these encounters, I have found myself returning to the Japanese sense of beauty that has been with me since childhood.

​​​​

ヘロン範子。神戸生まれ。幼少期より茶道と華道の師である母親のもと、日本の伝統文化に囲まれて育つ。一方で幼い頃から異なる価値観を求め、西洋の芸術や文化にも強く惹かれた。大手アパレルメーカーでデザイナーとしてキャリアをスタートするが、大量生産によるものづくりに疑問を抱き、より個人的な表現を求めてイタリアへ渡る。

その後、表現は彫刻的なガラス作品へと展開。当時としては珍しかった、空間に浮遊するようなガラスのシャンデリアの制作を開始する。さらに、建築空間と呼応するウォールアート、そして身に纏う彫刻としてのガラスジュエリーへと表現を広げる。

現在は東京を拠点に、ガラスジュエリーを中心に国内外で作品を発表。さまざまな人々や文化との出会いを重ねるなかで、幼い頃から自然と身につけてきた日本の美意識を、自身の創作の礎としてあらためて見出している。

EXHIBITION

Showcased work through more than 50 solo exhibitions, as well as numerous group exhibitions, pop-up stores, collaborations, and special events.
