Children are Objects of Music
First there is sound.
If very small particles are vibrating
Then everything and everyone are all dancing.
Glancing over, the rhythm is felt through the placement of the cups and plates on the table.
Rhythm can also be felt from footsteps and blinking, the lie of hair and patterns
There is also music in the variation of the colors of the sea.
Possibly there are no things that are the same whatsoever because the sound possessed is different.
At times the same sound may be circulated and the same rhythm may be danced to.
In a painting the object drawn and the rhythm are simultaneously made.
Sometimes the sound can slowly become visible,
Sometimes the character and rhythm can instantly form.
It must be that I am not drawing humans or objects, but perhaps I am drawing the respective sounds.

Reflection
Yu Hara
Planet Earth has its surface covered with water. Human bodies are filled with water. On the water are reflected the surrounding sceneries,on the ground their shadows. We are in the world of reflections. Why are we so? We see ourselves in the glass and in the mirror. We raise children or living images of us. We constantly recall day-to-day experiences and episodes in the past. We take pictures,make sketches,and transcribe sutras. Why do we so? We spend so much transferring and transcribing. Maybe in response to a call from water running inside and outside of us. Various images in the work have been transferred from printed materials. While transferring images with pigments,there is a moment when my mind is calmed and emptied . I painted as if I am to be water,continuously reflecting. This digital print is just like a reflection of the oil painting. Yu Hara |
