The carved works of Sho Kishino (b. 1972) represent a release of spirit and a modest animistic philosophy from beginning to end. Kishino uses old timber found from Japanese temples and shrines he discovers in the mountains and in riverbeds. He communes with the spirit that resides within the wood then abandons self to produce these sculptures. His works embody a feeling of 'emptiness' and can be described as a fusion of Giacometti and Zen Buddhism.
