Moko Moko Doki Doki
Misaki shares open and inviting works with the public to build connections through art. Her giant pettable, combable sculptures with Emoji-like faces have been scaled down for her new artist book Moko Moko Doki Doki. The edition contains six different covers (red, green, blue, yellow, white and pink)
The book documents Misaki’s production sketches, sculptures and paintings which show the building blocks of the world, "chu" (kiss), "suki" (like), "peko peko" (hungry), "pero pero" (licking), "kuru kuru" (spinning). Using mimetic word pairings Kawai creates a zone of creative play; bold, colourful and immersive.
