Amiyose V By:Kay Sekimachi

This piece is made out of woven nylon monofilament and plastic tubing. I really liked this because I have no idea what it is supposed to look like or mean which keeps the mystery. It is white and kind of looks like a falling piece of clothing or maybe a cartoon ghost. This must have taken a while to weave that much cloth. I enjoyed this piece because it looks very pretty but we don't know the purpose of it. It is a lot different that anything I've seen which is why it was in the modern art section. One thing I realized is that the room it was held in was really humid and sticky. I could feel the water in the air. I discovered that some rooms in the museum had different humiditys to preserve the artwork. Here, Kay Sekimachi uses thin monofilament unconventionally connecting pieces woven separately on an eightharness loom into a tubular structure with an inner core. The work appears to be a form within a for, and it's shifting shape speaks to tensions between transparency and opacity, interior and exterior space, and lightness and density.
