void+ proudly announces Junichi Mori's minawa. Exhibition to be held from Saturday November 22 until Saturday December 20. Mori is known for his previous work using formless movement of flowing 'water' and 'bubbles' as his motifs in his sculptures of marble and wood. In this exhibit, Mori draws inspiration from one of Leonardo da Vinci's drawings, which he uses as his motif in his latest wooden sculpture.
Water changes form along with the passing of time. The flow of water transforms into bubbles, only to disappear with time due to its volatile nature. Mori carves this water bubble form in its expression of endless evolution and evaporation, in his effort to pursue and express nature's ceaseless phenomenon.
