For this collaboration with Nonaka-Hill Gallery, each artist was invited to explore the theme of 'Care' through their individual perspectives and creative processes.
How does care stretch beyond health-care? How does it spill out into the world? Can it live inside a thing—a cup, a stone, the dent in a pillow where you rested your head? Can that thing hold you for a moment, wrap around you the way sunlight does, soft, sudden? And if it holds you, do you hold it back?
Born in Tokyo Japan in 1990, Nagase lives and works in Tokyo. Taking primary interest to the material aluminum, Nagase’s work explores the use, life, and becoming of an object – by both maintaining a neutrality in the production of the object and simultaneously allowing the wear that appears on the object during production.
