Artist Statement
Between Heaven & Soil is composed of a combination of 3 Japanese characters.
(Each Japanese character has its own meanings, such as “Heaven” or “Beauty”.)
The upper rows are Heaven, the lower rows are Soil, and all things between heaven and soil are Beauty.
“This is the largest work in the series and the most time-consuming & carefully crafted one. I used special-indigo for this work called Bi-Ai (beauty-indigo) which is deeper, richer blue pigment.”

Note: Framed size is 80.5 x 70 x 3 cm
