In reference to the great Shingon Buddhist monk Kūkai, who famously retreated to a seaside cave to view the daily cycle of sun and moon, Ken Matsubara's multi-media folding screen is a dance between the celestial bodies as they emerge and vanish into the ocean. Sculpted with clay-resin paint and mica resin, the crashing waves are simultaneously flowing and frozen in time. Constituted of a pair of screens, Matsubara achieves irredescence throughout the image owing to an underlayer of red iron-oxide called bengara.
