Kazuo Kadonaga "Wood / Paper / Bamboo / Glass"@ Nonaka-Hill



Wood No. 5-CI, 1984


The essence of both paper and wood is considered as layers expand from a center and contract from the outer age, both as a function of artist and time.

Wood No. 8-D, 1977


The decaying rhythms of time can be observed but only in the time of tis decay.










Bamboo No. 1-B, 1984





This incidental observation of this suspended drop of sap on the armature for Bamboo No. 1-B somehow contrasts with the longer duration that most of these works endure to become what they are while also reminding of how closely looking must be sometimes. Honestly, this sap drop has no artistic intent, but somehow punctuates the viewing experience as does Glass No. 4-I. Both examples drop/fall with gravity, accumulate, and form over time, again from a center in time with cooling effects.

Paper No.1-BF, 1983


Glass No. 4-I, 1999





Time moves at different rates and different directions and through different spaces both independently and of artistic collaboration.
