yasuaki onishi's reverse of volume






an ethereal, stunning piece at rice university art gallery. a plastic sheath was propped up by a stack of boxes, which was later removed to reveal negative space. the sheath is held up apparently by adhesive that was dyed black. how onishi did it, is of course his little secret. the trickery (!) is breathtaking. every image has a quality that reminds me of a chinese landscape painting.
