23/24 March: 15-18

Takumi about the residency:

- My works are going to have elements that are inspired from the vast nature in Norway and these are going to be displayed with another Japanese aesthetic related to wabi-sabi called Ma. Ma, is a concept of a negative space that is often used in Japanese Sumi ink calligraphy and Japanese gardening.

- Will my paintings interplay uniquely in the same space as the sculptures and will it change the focal point from the painting to the whole exhibition space? I have many questions about this and I hope I can explore this project at SKOG
