"Mariyo Yagi sculpts space, using environmental projects and public performance as her medium. Her environmental sculptures defy categorization. Her designs include exquisite gardens and landscapes, major parks and monumental earthworks, that transform communities and the “built environment” through interactive art.

The breadth of her construction experience is so significant that she is the first sculptor in Japan to become a legally licensed engineer. Besides founding the construction company that produces many of her projects, she is also a painter, performer and poet, as well as a lighting and sound designer. Enter into the multi-faceted world of Mariyo Yagi" Kathy Arlyn Sokol
