Description
Water K.Y.-5, printed in the 1990s, is an early entry in what would become Yoshida's most extensive series. The K.Y. prefix, which may reference the artist's own initials, followed by the low number 5, places this near the beginning of the investigation. Printed in ink and color on paper, this work establishes the visual parameters that later entries would elaborate and complicate. The 1990s dating means this print preceded the flood of 2012 entries by more than a decade, documenting the early questions that drove Yoshida to return to water again and again: how does carved wood hold the memory of something that never holds still?
