Work in the studio starts from January 2nd. I am heavily covered because I am using fluorescent pigments with an acrylic medium.
When completed, the work will be shipped to a hyoguya (installer) in Kyoto to be made into byobu (folding screens).
This will be exhibited in a space designed by Tadao Ando.
It will be shown under black and normal lights controlled to the minute by a computer.
I finish off working on the details with a brush. Regardless of the size of the work, the fine details create a sense of realism.
The appearance of the work changes drastically depending on its dimensions, so we made an accurate scale-model of the venue.
