RIKO YASUMIYA
Riko Yasumiya, is an artist, who producing visual works and artefacts that relate to human anatomy and how this informs and encourages greater awareness of how the body works with a range of media appropriate to teaching and presentational requirements, including textile, mixed media, 3D construction and installation. The materials used encourage tactile and kinetic responses from those engaging with them while presenting graphic information that relates directly to medical knowledge.
In history of medicine, understanding the human body is the primary study of rational, medical surgeons. Scientists have always worked with artists to share their theory of human anatomy visually for the purpose of teaching and developing the advances in understanding within medicine.

She considers the possibility of the arts as a vehicle for the progression of both medicine and science.
