KOICHI ISHINO
Re-title; in the depth of the forest, 2015
My work was made for the seaside, where the wind is blowing around the stone. I felt a gentle wind from the sea. The atmosphere gives me a clear idea, which is connected with bright light, air, the sea sound, and the smell of the ocean. I love the atmosphere of evening twilight, it is the sign of the universe. I believe, all of the things surrounding me are clear.
It would change my imagination if this work is sitting in the depth of the forest. Perhaps, we can find a sacred place or a mystical atmosphere. I believe the gods are living in everything and everywhere, trees, plants and rocks, that is the Japanese religion called SHINTO. The sculpture looks like a big plant in the forest, the fairies, the dwarves and the elves are surrounding there. That I believe and it will be the beginning of the story.
Stainless steel and granite.
