This installation was an important foundation
for the contextual works in Group of Works II.
She filled black and white gravel into 10 cm deep ditches that ran along the right and left of the broad staircase leading up to the Kurotani Temple.
The Buddhist philosophy provided the spiritual context for the former student of Japanese language and culture. She shares this background with the artists of the Minimalist movement and Land Art of the Sixties.
Concentration and intimacy mediate the dialogue between nature and art in Kyoto.
The reduced language of symbols and signs engages in a dialogue with the historical
location and the sign dominated culture.
