Artist Nishiki Sugawara-Beda’s Kotodama Converse will be installed at the Leonor R. Fuller Gallery from Oct. 6 to Nov. 3, 2023. The opening reception will be held on Friday, Oct. 6, from 6 to 7:30 p.m.
Nishiki Sugawara-Beda’s installation, Kotodama Converse, is a lightweight paper and script sculptural installation with accompanying small sumi paintings on wood. The installation provides a blank canvas that serves as an invitation for the viewer to complete the work, bringing their own emotional state, words, and phrases both physically and metaphorically. The act of viewing becomes the act of participation.
