�Fragrant Rhythms� (kouin II )
Maio Motoko
Contemporary 2007
220 x 1.8 x 123cm
Antique silk fragments, tinfoil, pigment and recycled stainless steel.

�Kouin I� explored the concept and feelings of �light�, this work Kouin II, cleverly using the ambiguities of Japanese script, explores ideas of �fragrance�. Using similar techniques, the work suggests the scent of flowers in full bloom on a balmy breeze, and on the reverse side, the scent of green in a grove of trees during a downpour.
