Sadashi Inuzuka

Statement:

I make site-specific installations which address the relationship between the natural world and human society.

My current works focus on ecological imbalance and the impact of pollution or invasive non-native species on local habitats. Each installation is an aesthetic and physical interpretation of these issues, and the sculptural elements are metaphors for the natural world and our relationship to it.

In making an installation I am concerned with the transformation of a given space into a more spiritual one which allows for meditation or reflection. The aesthetic of multiple units is intrinsic to my repetitive, obsessive working process where I am completely absorbed by the power of the material and the momentum of making. It is this merging of self with the whole which I experience as an artist, which I see paralleled in human society and the natural world, and which I wish to share with the viewer standing in the space of my work.
