Community Project

Puerto escondido market project <- Puerto Escondido
This project aims to stimulate people to use their imagination more frequently. I went to the local market to sell a special jelly invented by the fish. I feel that the Mexican people (Oaxaca) are open-minded and have a free sense of the body. Much more than any other people in the world that I have had experience in knowing during my work as an artist, such as the European or Japanese people. This experience made me question myself an of “how are human beings” in a thinkable way.

(Yokohama, 1972)
Creates complex, delicate assemblages composed of household scraps and familiar found objects such as rags, old shoes, glass, wooden clothes pegs, television antennae, and plastic tubing.
Her enigmatic sculptures resemble minimalist mechanisms devoid of function, primitive robots, or curious experiments, and typically feature cryptic titles such as …with an asparagus pillow… (2003), Parking Fish Project (2003), and …“quietly now”… (2003). Tsuchiya approaches her materials as repositories of memory and experience, as well as signifiers of the future; “I treat these physical and imaginative aspects equally, combining and recombining them until I’m able to construct a story embedded within an object” she has said.
