Artist Statement for Setsuko Ishii
|
|
|
“Rainbows dance on your palm from the reflections of ripples in water. Spinning colours of light are threads that become a malleable form like clay. Holography is the medium by which such images can be realized. Each trace of brushwork from the drawing hand floats in 3 dimensions like streams of light in frozen time. Its appearance is always changing depending on one’s viewpoint. One is always aware of time and light.
“The enjoyment of the presentation and space unifies the artwork. By entering the space, participants enter the work itself and experience a symbiotic relationship with the work. They can take their own perceived understanding of the space, as if to steel it, yet they remain in the same time and space of perception in which it is originally experienced, if not in the visual memory then in the somatic memory. To be there and to feel; the physical is a very important thing.” (Ishii, Setsuko)
Ms. Ishii’s aim is to enable the viewers of her works to grasp the world as a subjective experience and to unconsciously awaken an understanding of Japanese culture. Through the individual parts, the power of the whole is constructed viscerally. The progression through time and movement in a constructed space can elicit new ideas. Holography is an alternative dialogue for accessing and understanding the rhythms of nature. There is a symbiosis between the literal subjects and the abstract images. If a longing to understand and see a new world emerges within the participant, then the work is successful.
