MIYANAGA Aiko,who had been presenting her early work by using veins extracted from leaves, is developing her work which presents a change of states with time passing, using chemicals such as, naphtalene or silica gel. The consistent theme is 'passage of time'. The work of veins were founded on idea to let viewers imagine the passing time. While, the latest naphtalene or silica gel works signify the actual change of states.
Naphtalene, which was moulded into clothes or butterflies, 'sublimates' in exhibition period, and at last, disappears. Yet, as it is a chemical which never sublimates quickly before our eyes and comes to an end moderately, so that we only 'imagine' how it has changed or will change. In that sense, the work presents 'passage', but never tells the 'passage' directly. There certainly exist viewer's imaginations.
To let us imagine 'invisible' time, she chose for its object to mould something familiar to us in everyday life. This exhibition presents 'naphtalene footwares' which were moulded with worn-out footwares. Footwares, which were chosen only by chance, but are to walk together with us for some time. It would be a symbolic relationship between those footwares and our trace. The past reality, which was left on our trace, would be more likely to give a future by disapperaring.
