poster for Katsura Okada "The Re-Origin: After the last first"

This event has ended.

This is the the second solo exhibition at A.I.R. Gallery by alumnae member artist Katsura Okada. With this exhibition, Okada continues to explore rice paper as a medium, forming thin rolls into long flowing forms and delicate sculptural bundles.

Katsura Okada draws inspiration from "all experiences - happiness, sadness, anger, pain, beauty and ugliness all influence my work and mature my mind, to be expressed perhaps ten years later." The Re-Origin: After the Last First specifically contemplates the effects of nuclear weapons and radioactive contamination on Japan. Playing with light, color, and textural sensitivity, Okada describes The Re-Origin: After the Last First as a kind of prayer for the health and safety of the people of Japan and people all over the world, and as expressive of her hopes - that the first use of nuclear weapons in warfare will be the last "first."
