MARI HIRATA
FRAGMENTS OF AN INTERNAL LANDSCAPE: STUDIES AND MAKINGS

8 – 23 August, 2020

FRAGMENTS OF AN INTERNAL LANDSCAPE: STUDIES AND MAKINGS presented an ongoing collection of studies in the form of drawings and small-scale sculptures which were manifestations of insights and emotions from moments in time. Delivered as an evolving installation, the exhibition explored the subject of mental health as an ever-changing landscape of the internal self. The works were personal documentations of an ongoing ritual practice contemplating the darkness and light: often incoherent sentiments of the world within.
