Midori’s artwork,
” Lost in D Minor”
Found a new Home!
Finalist at the Northern Beaches Environmental Art & Design Prize 2023
Artist: Midori Furze
Title: Relax
Category: Works on paper
Medium: Drypoint etching on archival paper/Milk carton, water-based ink, print scribes, etching tool, scissors, ruler, a soft rubber brayer
Sizes: 48x40cm Framed
My art reflects a sense of simplicity and harmony with nature. By using recycled materials to create my prints, I hope to bring attention to the importance of sustainability and the need to protect our environment.
As a Japanese artist, I draw inspiration from the traditional Japanese partitions and doors, which feature four rectangles. In my work, I create unique drypoint prints using old milk cartons as plates. The lines in my prints divide the plate into four sections, revealing the original rectangular shape. I use blank space as an important feature in my art, as it is in many traditional Japanese artworks.

I am featured on the Japanee Cultural Directory
The Consulate-General of Japan, Sydney released a cultural dictionary of the artists on their website in September 2020.

They told me that I was chosen to be one of them because I have received the award in 2016, I am so delighted to be in it.
In 2016, I received a Consul-General’s Commendation award for my work towards origami.
I have been working very hard but it was a surprise that the government recognised me.
I’m still doing my best and enjoying the origami.
Thank you very much, everyone! I couldn’t do without your support.
I was featured on the local magazine in September.
It is so nice to see my artwork in a nice big room.
You can see my spring exhibition, “Untangled – Follow the red string” at the eye doctors Mona Vale between September and November 2020.
I am honoured to be featured. The local magazine, Pittwater life wrote about my exhibition.
So thrilled to see about my exhibition on a magazine!
