Reverse of Volume RG by Yasuaki Onishi is on display at Rice Gallery through June 24 in Houston, TX.
About the project:
In his “reverse of volume” installations, Onishi uses the simplest materials – translucent plastic sheeting, strings of black glue, and fishing line – to create monumental forms that resemble mountains or clouds floating in space. His process of “casting the invisible” involves draping the sheeting over objects, which are removed to leave only their impressions.Onishi views this process of “reversing” sculpture to be a meditation on the nature of the negative space, or void, left behind.
