Oh! Wind is flowing here. Light shines from far away and sound can be heard.
Can be felt the natural breath which made us such image from Reiko Hara's work. Hara says "My works were born by the inspiration from the material called textile." There is something which makes us an image of "another nature". Even if it is abstract, that image can be said the dignity which was derived from concreteness or inspired by some emotion.
Hara's work can be seen like painting or soft sculpture. Although she has chosen the material called fiber, her mode of expression is not limited in one. The work is exactly the "shape" which appear by passing Hara's creation filter. Unrestricted her work impresses the quiet and abundant reverberation of "another nature".
A life seen in nature. Spring - Young innocence. Summer - Aggressive youth. Autumn - Manhood of harvest, Winter - Simple and refined old man.
Hara says "I would like to express the beauty of each season."
Nestle close to the nature, affectionate to the nature, abstract the shape from the nature.
The works of Hara who relishes flowers is consistently borne by the dialog with nature.
We will sense that we are an part of the nature by her works. Suguru Igarashi / Curator of Sompo Japan Museum of Art |
