Yasuaki Onishi; ‘Vertical Emptiness’ Crystallized Forest
I was stunned to see these images I find it innocently
beautiful. It reminds me of a place a child would dream off, something
fairy-tale. It is beautifully portrayed and it was all made from hundreds of
hanging layers of hot melted glue that hung from upside down tree branches, it
was then coated in urea. This clearly demonstrates the mix of nature and
man-made but in this case the man-made interference improves on nature. This
crystallized forest has a clear connection with the environment. There are also
scattered leaves and snowflakes dotted about chaotically. I find it amazing how
something so large, unique and fragile was created by simply draping hot glue
over upside down branches. I would love to go and see this. Just to see whether
it feels like a fairy-tale to walk next to it or through it.
