A new exhibit has opened at the Figge in Davenport, Iowa featuring work from an international artist.

Yuriko Yamaguchi mixes nature with science and technology to make large cloud-like art pieces.

The Japanese artist said she was inspired by the way plants curl up when they are dried. She began experimenting with them by casting them in wax and rubber.

Even though her work has been on display around the world, she said the Davenport exhibit was especially exciting.

“To have a show in such a beautiful, spectacular museum, it’s my… dream,” Yamaguchi said.

Her exhibit is called “Interconnected in Art, Nature, Science, and technology.” It will be at the Figge through May.
