In reference to the great Shingon Buddhist monk Kūkai, who famously retreated to a seaside cave to view the daily cycle of sun and moon, Ken Matsubara's multi-media folding screen is a dance between the celestial bodies as they emerge and vanish into the ocean. Sculpted with clay paint and mica resin, the crashing waves are simultaneously flowing and frozen in time. Constituted of a pair of screens, Matsubara achieves iridescence throughout the image owing to an underlayer of red iron-oxide called bengara.
