Sato Haguri, winner of the 2014 Toshiyuki Inoko Award at Geisai #20 and Tokyo Design Week 2015’s Asia Awards Art Division Semi-Grand Prix, presents parquet wooden sculptures of female characters with a floating lightness in their colors and poses. Haguri states: The act of carving human figures from wood is a theme throughout my work. It started with a strange pleasure in bringing sculptures resembling myself into existence, but then I found that parquet wood mosaic techniques bring space into solid blocks of wood, giving them a “lightness” that translates paradoxically to a lofty feeling. I oscillate between these two elements in carving. For this exhibition, I’ve added figures that express certain onomatopoeic expressions such as “gritty,” “spikey,” and “snakey.” I hope visitors will give these girls their own stories when they see them.
