Description

Departing from the woodblock print medium, this installation and mixed media work extends Ebizuka's investigation of natural phenomena into three-dimensional space. The title, Skin of Water and Wind, treats both water and air as having surfaces — permeable, responsive membranes rather than volumes. This aligns with Ebizuka's practice at Tama Art University, where his sculpture background informs an approach to materials as spatially active rather than inert. The work likely incorporates translucent or reflective materials that register ambient light and air movement as legible events, collapsing the boundary between representation and phenomenon. Where his prints use bokashi and layered ink to approximate atmospheric effects on a flat plane, this installation makes those effects literal, placing the viewer inside the subject rather than before it.
