Maio Motoko
Now one could be forgiven for saying well, that is all a bit over the top - this almost spiritual eulogising of the humble, or not so humble after all, folding screen, but I can see the artist’s feelings here – sense of the screen being a metaphor for a culture and at the same time a kind of metaphor for a life – the folding and unfolding, the revelation and the retreat, the opening and the closing, the process and then the stillness.
