Exhibition Title: (in)visible forest

Period: Jul.28,2020 - Aug.8,2020

Venue: ART FOR THOUGHT

-

The ability to see invisible things with your eyes, and to imagine them.

You have probably seen the sight of a plant returning to the earth. But invisible forces work not only in forests. They act to maintain equilibria all around us, prone as we may be to only be influenced by the things that we can see with our own eyes.

"The ability to see invisible things with your eyes, and to imagine them" serves as the keyword of my art. Through the invisible forest, I express the slow, steady advance of the plant-based time axis as it changes at each point in time.

The work includes pieces that are completed through the participation of visitors, so when attending the exhibition, please come with a handful of flowers blossoming somewhere near you.

見えないモノを目で見る力、想像する力。

植物が土に還っていく姿を見たことがあるでしょうか。目に見えることのみに左右されてしまいがちな私たちですが、実際は森の中だけでなく身近なところでも見えない力が働いていて均衡が保たれています。

見えないモノを目で見る力、想像する力。がキーワードとなり、単調でゆっくり進む植物の時間軸がinvisible forestにより変化する様子を各タイムポイントで表現。

来場者が参加することで完成する作品もあるので、ご来場の際には身近なところに咲いているお花を一輪手に握りしめてご来場ください。
