Kenta Kuwana

Using my own hands and my own feet, I bring unknown experiences back home. It is something I have done all along, unchanged since childhood. An experience brought home as my own changes my awareness tomorrow; what I have come to know becomes personal. To stand on my own feet, and to feel 100% that I am here, in this place. I make work so as not to lose that self.

About This Body of Work
I project images onto the night sky. Just as scattered stars are connected to form a single shape, I reconnect anew the eras and places contained within each object, and even the roles it has been given. Sometimes those joints come from Greek mythology; at other times they are associations drawn from insects I have collected. The things at hand become connected all the way to the night sky, beyond reach. Just as a constellation gives stars a new relationship to one another, the objects are linked one by one, creating images that had never come into view before.
