Stone, place, form

Working between Northern California and the marble ateliers of Pietrasanta, Yoko Kubrick creates sculpture shaped by material, architecture, landscape, and the physical experience of moving around form.

Origins and studio history

A practice formed in place

Kubrick's early studio practice developed in the Bay Area, including a studio at San Francisco's historic Hunters Point Shipyard. She later continued her formation in Carrara and the sculpture ateliers of Pietrasanta, where stone became central to her practice.

Form and monumentality

Sculpture is shaped not only by material, but by architecture, landscape, scale, and the changing experience of moving around it.

Lethe at Le Petit Trianon

Lethe was presented in the garden of Le Petit Trianon for the San Francisco Decorator Showcase. The installation placed the marble work in direct relation to the architecture, planting, and paths of the historic setting.
