Deep furrows split open the earth, forming gashes and ruts as water roils, taking shape and molding the landscape. Just as the towering Mt. Fuji, great expanse of Arizona’s Grand Canyon, and the Guilin Forest in China were shaped by erosion and weathering, Matsubara introduces similar methods. Minerals and sand are bound to the golden surface with a natural adhesive. Matsubara includes mica within the earth, which comes to life in light like glittering gems. Activating the soil with water, he slowly coaxes the earth into a majestic scene that disregards the passage of time.
