Studio | Yoko Kubrick

Studio

The sculpture develops through close engagement with material, scale, and process. Kubrick's practice combines hands-on carving with collaboration across specialist ateliers, engineers, fabricators, riggers, and installers when projects require larger-scale production.

Her years in Carrara and Pietrasanta established stone carving not simply as a fabrication method, but as a way of thinking through form. Maquettes, block selection, carving, surface development, engineering, transport, and installation form a continuous process.
