Ginger rice and other things hanging from the ceiling-is an site specific installation that I designed and built to the dimensions of the school’s Kaiku gallery. I collected objects and materials, mostly trash, which piqued my interest on the way to my studio. I wanted to make visible the cardboard tube hidden inside the canvas. I treated the pipes with different materials and arranged them in different orders in the space. The silk paintings became a counterweight to the sculptural elements. The work deals with the home, expanded painting and distortion of high culture.
