Artist Statement:
"Mon" is a gate or a
gateway in English. Mon in
general are situated between
two spaces, typically private
property and public property.
In some cultures a Mon also
has a spiritual meaning.
Growing up in Japan I still
remember being taught to
always refresh my mind when
entering the Mon into a temple
or a shrine. This element of
"mind refreshing" is a major
theme of this particular work.
By using Japanese caligraphic
strokes into a
three-dimensional object the
front and the back have slight
altered forms.
Furthermore, it has always
been of great importance to me
to include the element of
actual physical experience
into my works. I have tried
to make a work of large
dimensions without the
overpowering atmosphere
typically created by enormous
works.
