KAZÉ·風, named for the Japanese word for “wind”, is an immersive exhibition that brings to life a selection of Japanese onomatopoeic expressions that describe the elusive, ever-shifting character of the wind.
The five sculptural works presented in this exhibition embodied a diverse array of winds, from a tranquil breeze to a howling squall. To produce fluid forms reminiscent of each wind, black Sumi-e 墨絵 ink was methodically dropped into a basin of water and blown to produce elaborate ripples and swirls of ink. Each intricate Suminagashi 墨流し pattern was captured on rice paper and digitally collaged. These compositions were then translated into mixed-media sculptures using a variety of fabrication techniques, including laser cutting, CNC machining, and FDM and SLA 3D printing.
In this room of winds, visitors were invited to contemplate the synesthetic qualities of Japanese onomatopoeia, and the unexpected poetry of our ephemeral encounters—like a blade of grass gently swaying in the breeze.
Exhibited at My monkey gallery in Nancy, France between November 30, 2023-February 29, 2024.
