Tiers at Work by Amy Yoshitsu

40th Annual Made in California Solo Show

1 Civic Center Circle, Brea CA 92821

The Brea Gallery is honored to present Tiers at Work by Amy Yoshitsu. Weaving together Amy’s sculptural works, manipulated photography, and social and cultural engagement, this exhibition honors the manifestations of histories, shared needs, and connected conditions. Reflecting on the built environment and infrastructure, Yoshitsu miniaturizes and deconstructs structured space—a product of human labor, the authority of financialization, and modern survival.

Amy Yoshitsu (b. 1988), they/she, is a sculptor, designer, and socially engaged artist living and working in their hometown, Berkeley, CA. Yoshitsu’s work has been shown across the US and internationally in solo and group exhibitions. In Fall 2024, Yoshitsu presented a solo exhibition at Gallery Route One (Point Reyes, CA) and was featured in a two-person exhibition at Vox Populi (Philadelphia, PA). Their solo exhibition at Satchel Projects (Chelsea, NY) in 2023 earned them a Must-See by ARTnews. Yoshitsu’s work has been included in group shows at Manifest Gallery (Cincinnati, OH), Pyramid Atlantic Art Center (Hyattsville, MD), Herter Gallery (UMass Amherst), and Berkeley Art Center (Berkeley, CA). In 2010, Yoshitsu received an A.B. in Visual and Environmental Studies from Harvard University and later attended the MFA Art program at California Institute of the Arts. Yoshitsu has been in residency at the Vermont Studio Center (Johnson, VT), the Artist Residency Project at the School of Visual Arts, Esalen Institute (Big Sur, CA), and Kala Art Institute (Berkeley, CA).
