Nature as spirit
Woods of Leaf Miners
Hurricane Lily
This is one of my sculptural installation series called “nature as spirit”.
I create glass sculptures by fusing and slumping techniques, then install them in natural settings as site specific installations.

There are insects called leaf miners. They get their name because they “mine” calligraphic patterns on the leaves as they eat them. Those intriguing patterns attracted my attention. It inspired me to engrave my glass with absolute certitude just like them.
Since many plants have heart-shaped leaves, I came up with the idea of carving the Heart Sutra on heart-shaped glass leaves. The Heart Sutra is the most popular sutra in Japan. It consists of 276 kanji characters. Today, it is loved for the healing power of its sound as well as its pragmatic wisdom rather than for any religious meaning.

Hurricane lily, 2015
Hurricane lily, called by one thousand names, is used for medicine as well as poison. All the leaves wither to fall before the lurid red flower blooms. Healthy leaves, worm eaten leaves, sick leaves. Shadow projects the indiscernible.
ヒガンバナ
毒にも薬にもなり千の名前で呼ばれる彼岸花。鮮やかな赤い花をつける前に葉はすべて枯れて落ちてしまう。元気な葉、虫に食われた葉、病葉。影は見えないものを映す。
