"Landscapes"
Oct 31-Nov 10. 2024
Gallery Onetwentyeight, New York, NY
Landscapes Toki Ozaki creates multimedia objects and weaving works. These abstract, landscape-like pieces are inspired by places the artist has been. They suggest feelings of uncertainty, distorted memories, and nostalgic stories.
Woven works possess the labor and time of weaving, and the time of weaving sometimes creates a meditative time. The materials evoke daily life, and I feel that material and labor cannot be avoided from human life and emotions. Soft materials can easily change their shape, and the way the form changes and moves is entrusted to momentary freedom and the desires of the moment, shaping the form. Threads are like drawings, and the process formed by the vertical and horizontal of the weaving can be metaphorically expressed.
