Norie Sato

Seattle, Washington, United States

Norie Sato is a Seattle artist who develops public artworks from the conditions and meanings of particular sites. Her practice includes individual artworks, design-team collaboration and public art planning for transportation, civic and educational settings. Air Over Under, dated 2011, forms a glass façade at San Francisco International Airport’s Terminal 2. Its layered painted and silkscreened imagery explores clouds and flight; Sato credits production at Franz Mayer Studios in Munich. Unfurling a Gesture (The Nature of Persistence) combines a screen wall and stainless-steel sculpture at Seattle’s Union Street Pedestrian Bridge. A City of Seattle report confirmed installation in October 2022 and credits collaboration with Schemata Architects, James Corner Field Operations and V + M Structural. Ferns and seabirds inform its relationship to the waterfront.
