Rieko Otake
Rieko Otake fashions sculptures from camphor wood and leaves them unpainted. "Yumemushi", her series of works that is reminiscent of Buddhist statues, features girls with delicate features in various poses. “I'm interested in the obscure and abnormal, the things that are not normal” Otake said. Although they are based on human form, I endeavor to craft figures that will surpass individual personality and leave the permanence of humanity behind. Despite their delicate appearance, Otake's works harbor a strength that sincerely reflects her passion for sculpture as a form of expression.
"Tori Tori" is a play on words; in Japanese, it evokes images of birds that have just taken flight and opens the door to Otake's free world. With wings spread wide, the birds barely conceal the figures crouching on top. This exhibition is scheduled to include 6~7 works.
