SKUU, SUKUU, SUKUU
Parts from the work “SKUU, SUKUU, SUKUU” (scoop, save, nest), previously presented at the Oku-Noto Triennale 2020, will be re-exhibited at the sea-floating Pukarisanbashi Pier. These sculptures are made from clay prototypes based on images of Iida-cho residents of Suzu City, Ishikawa, “scooping water with their hands.” Each work is plaster-molded, and filled with clear resin. The oscillating pier and the fluctuating sense resonate through these sculptures. The artist’s pursuit for the grounds of reality draws upon the presence of those who live far away from us.

Michiko NAKATANI
Born 1981 in Tokyo. Nakatani creates three-dimensional works with inverted concavities and convexities, which deviate from standard relief work. She questions the ambiguities of “absence” and “reality” in images by means of molding clay prototypes in plaster and then filling the empty clay-removed molds with clear resin to reveal a tangible existence in the form of “sculpture.” relocated to her grandfather’s vacant house in Mie Prefecture. Her “when I get old” project is an annual exhibition of works held on Senior Citizens’ Day at the “Shiritsu Omuro Museum,” a renovated former dog collar manufacturing factory.
