Uniquely, she “paints” lines; in her works, each line is rigorous accumulation of extremely thin lines, and the lines are making strict compositions to symbolize her vertiginous ideas. She gained recognition in the exhibition “MOT Annual - No Border” at Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo, in last year, and also participated the exhibition “Nikkei Nihonga Prize”. She is among the most remarkable young artists internationally at this present. Nishimura Gallery is scheduling Machida’s solo exhibition in February, 2008.
