'yes/no' is made up of two aluminium sculptures that have been conceived via wave forms of the spoken words 'yes' and 'no'. displayed on rubber mounting, the two objects attempt to materialize
the sculptural characteristics of sound when moving through space into a respective visual effigy. the semantic content of the sculptures gives answers to unasked questions, opening up a wide range of interpretation and association. 'yes/no' could also be perceived as a special portrait of performance artist laurie anderson, who originally spoke the two words that are solidified here.
100 x 15 x 15cm each.

We are surrounded by various tools. We usually believe that a spoon is tool for eating something and a comb is for combing someoneﾕs hair. But don't they have other purposes?
Let's explore in a house at midnight !
There are tools on a tabletop in moonlight. If you touch one softly, the shadow transforms into various shapes. Even if tools don't change own shape, their shadows may show their true characters.
