Artwork Description


Title: Newsday Fall Meddium: newspaper, wood, brackets Dimension: 12'W x 10'H x 8'D Date: 2011 For "Earth Matters", five arists installation exhibit for Huntington Museum of Arts, in Huntington, NY. Curated by Lisa Chalif, the executive curater of the museum. Visualizing the accumulation of five weeks' local daily newspaper of Long Island, NY. I wanted to resonate with our powerful life's ephemerality in form of water and reflecting the sound of waterfall in silent manner.

I wanted to create the ephemerality of our life, yet generation to generation we continue to exist like a big waterfall.
It was a perfect medium to use the accumulation of five weeks' local (Long Island) daily newspaper to form this installation, it is large to the gallery space, it is loud in vision but it is a quiet ceased moment of waterfall.

Statement I create my works through experimenting with materials that reflect my life and my thoughts. Small, unpretentious, valueless things and waste material from our daily life often become my primary medium and a theme. I am fascinated to discover another vision, language and energy within quiet stillness. I came from Japan in my young adult life, and I feel my works are often intuitive reactions to the American life that I have happily adopted, my art making is a visual journey of my life. Observing our environment is an exciting daily practice, people’s lifestyle, how they react to occurrences and nature’s phenomena…such as water, mist, shadows, wind are strong inspirations to form my works.
