Rice as Art
Cycling the Kibi Plain near Okayama, rice is the visual staple as it is the predominant crop. I have been lacking in contemporary art since Naoshima and Teshima, so I decided to create my own by capturing images of rice. It is harvest time; these images are all post-harvest shots.
Love these photographs! Look forward to seeing you and hearing all about your trip when I get back to NM. I’m headed to California today – will return on 10 November.
Really- the cut rice crop looks beautiful too? I see new work in this Alison.
Alison, wonderful images from what looks like an amazing trip. The overall feeling is that a incredible sense of aesthetics is deeply ingrained in Japanese culture. The contemporary museum looks fabulous! Hope you are Rob are well.
Sorry Alison, too lazy to leave my name above!
