Interdisciplinary artist Sakura Koretsune works across embroidery, installation and publication. Focused on the relationships between humans and cetaceans as well as oceanic folklore, her practice combines writing and textile work. Grounded in research and fieldwork, her work engages with questions of ecology and the human–environment connection. Koretsune received a BFA from the University of Alaska Fairbanks (2010) and an MA from Tohoku University of Art and Design, Yamagata (2017). From 2022 to 2023, she was a guest researcher at the University of Oslo as part of the Programme of Overseas Study for Upcoming Artists organised by Japan’s Agency for Cultural Affairs. Her work has been presented in several exhibitions, including currents / undercurrents: Bringing Together the Endless Flow, Aomori Contemporary Art Centre, Aomori, (2024) and Aichi Triennale: A Time Between Ashes and Roses (2025).
