Copenhagen, 2019 -
Exhibition and furniture Design
MIZU means „water” in Japanese. The artist uses water as the
means to create her unique works. Using self made paddles
and brushes she manipulates the water surface and captures
the patterns of turbulences, submerging wood in it. The whole
process takes place in a custom made basin.
The idea for the exhibition is to show the final artwork as well
as the process that led to it. The space is divided into two. The
larger part of the room, defined by an abstract surface of marbled wood reflecting in a large mirror and the smaller, acting
as a workshop space consisting of the basin, a display of tools,
Japanese papers and the prototype pieces that were used to
create the artwork in the first part of the room.
Together with Quynh Nguyen, I had a chance to work on the
design of the exhibition, manufacturing of it’s various elements and final construction, all under the supervision of Pernille Snedker.
