Mine Tanigawa: The Poetry of Fragments at Soil


  • Hong Kong Hong Kong (map)

“The works at this exhibition represent fragments of my experience in the past year. I hope that viewers can appreciate my lacquer pieces like the ever-changing landscape or the fleeting moments in life. The vine grows in curly patterns, and it is caused by internal and external factors. The same is true with the curly lines I create in this artwork. I get inspiration from external influences and my inner experiences to create this lacquer piece.

Applying layers of lacquer is a kind of meditating process. The ancient technique of lacquer making has been passed down from generation to generation. I love to create with lacquer as it is transitory yet enduring. The ephemerality of nature is embodied in my lacquer art as I try to capture nature's shifting shape and form. At the same time, it gives a sense of permanence”.
