Wish Flower

1996, 7’x7’x11, Installation: wish paper, string, acrylic medium

The first installation, “Wish Flower,” is presented as floating in the air. This idea originates from the Japanese children’s tradition called “Teru Teru Bozu” which are tissue dolls made especially as a way to wish for sunny weather during rainstorms. One hundred of my flowers suspended on the same level create an ephemeral world.
