E.E. Kono is a member of the Beautiful Bizarre Artist Directory
E. E. Kono is a Los Angeles and Iowa-based artist. In her work, she explores the fluidity of culture and time. She employs a visual language that reflects her investigation into the connections between stories, symbols, and archetypes; across cultures and to the natural world.
Growing up, E.E.’s family split their year between a diverse international community and small-town, middle America. This nurtured in her a life-long interest in how stories and symbols create interwoven meanings between societies. Initially, this inspired a career in children’s literature, writing and illustrating picture books. Now, her practice favours a slow, meditative process using natural materials chosen for their layered significance.
E. E. Kono’s practice is interested in how stories and symbols create meaning that’s passed from one society to another, transcending cultures and offering a connection between diverse viewpoints. She incorporates materials and methods that link directly to artists of the past, highlighting the cyclical nature of time.
