Risa Tamaki
Cylinders, each measuring 75 centimeters high, are placed on the floor like bundled-up tree branches weathering over time. These dynamic objects look like a fossilized natural substance dug out from the earth. A closer look reveals subtle white, gray, pink and cream colors strewn among the earth tones, which accidentally emerged during the firing process. The cylinders were actually formed by coating rolled-up newspapers with clay slurry and firing them while they were half dry.
Risa Tamaki is a young artist who just completed her graduate studies in 2006. Her work is rooted in her hometown of Kumano, where the world heritage site Kumano Kodo (Pilgrimage Road) is located. This site is filled with ancient trees. Her childhood drawings were mostly pictures of tree roots. Since 2006, she has been creating works that are similar to those on display in this exhibition, effectively working with all sorts of clay that have different characteristics. In this exhibition, a new work titled "The Mother" is on display.
Artist Talk on June 5th (Fri), 18:30-19:00
