Wrapped protectively in an array of organic materials - including bags, garments, newspapers, and even eggshells - the Brooklyn-based artist evokes memories and traditions of her native Tokyo, Japan. A prestigious panel of judges from the Guggenheim Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and CITY magazine's Fashion Director, Julie Ragolia recently chose Tabei's work from hundreds of submissions in Sprout's first-ever emerging artist competition. Digital prints of her work are on sale through SproutArt.org/Gallery and RebeccaAndDrew.com. (via CITY)
