My concept for my art-making is to search a new relationship between “artifact” and “nature”.
“Artifact” and “nature” is not only the opposite schema. For instance, a computer malfunction is whether the artificial or nature matter? To search an answer to those questions, I started my art making. Sudden errors and accidental matters that happen in many different situations show obscure phenomenon in-between artificial/ natural and let us te-think about the relation between them. – Yuko MOHRI, 2013.
