Yuken Teruya
Yuken Teruya (jp.照屋 勇賢 Teruya Yūken, born 1973) is an artist based in New York City.
Teruya was born in Okinawa. He works in a variety of media and often references consumer culture alongside traditional craft techniques.[1] An example of his art is the series of McDonalds and high-end designer store bags into which Teruya cuts intricate tree shapes that are then pushed through into the interior of the bag, creating an enclosed environment within.[2]
