TANIKAWA Hiroko — Text

Layers of light formed from stirring memories overlap and interfere with one another, creating expressions of complexity and depth.
When working on two-dimensional pieces, I continually repeat small experiments within this state of fluctuation, seeking to build unconstrained layers of light.
Moments when I am unsure how to proceed, or when something emerges that feels unlike anything within me, are intriguing; yet at times I pause, sensing something slightly amiss, and find my thoughts momentarily adrift. In such moments, I choose to return to the past and reorganize my inner self.
Drawing upon a painting I made some twelve years ago, I decided to work in a direction I did not pursue at that time.
