Here are some more photos of my new installation art piece "Rewinding." This piece is made of paper and used video tapes. I was always wanting to include origami elements in my installation art, so I am glad it happened this time, and I feel I want to do it more in the future. It is natural for me to make origami pieces because I grew up making them as most of the Japanese kids do.
I have noticed myself using more found objects, everyday objects, for my installation art lately. This is probably because I like the idea of recycling. And these everyday objects are quite inspiring! Since I have many VHS video tapes that I no longer use, I thought it was a good idea to use them for my art rather than just throwing them away. The artist statement of this work is here. I made this piece to show at The First Wichita Emerging Artists Award Exhibit. I hope to make this piece again at a different site.
