Saka Matsushita
Saka follows a unique process of mapping out a story, writing a short script, drawing a storyboard, then making the artwork. She often uses a line spoken by someone in the story as the title of a work. This comes from her experience working as a set and costume designer for stage and film in which the story is always placed at the core.
Saka Matsushita has been creating artwork with recurring themes of memory and dream. Her previous exhibition Absence was a series of empty rooms with remaining traces and memories of people who once occupied the space, with each piece depicting different stories. In “Almost Heard You”, Saka’s pursuit to focus on the narrative in the process of producing paintings and drawings lead her to concentrate on developing one story. Each painting in this exhibition is a different scene within. The phrase “almost heard you”, also the title of this exhibition, inspired the series. The phrase captures the tinge of emotion felt when we can’t fully express our words and feelings or when timing and opportunity just don’t match.
The exhibition will feature new canvas painting works, a medium Saka began in 2018, as well as monoprint drawings. This show will be accompanied by an original music score by Rafael Ikenaga.
