Adding green in the corner to symbolize a tree is a lovely touch to the rather overbuilt city. To me, this piece is reminiscent of an urban neighborhood lacking nature. Sad, but very very true.
Japanese-born, New York-based artist Katsumi Hayakawa constructs densely layered sculptures that resemble, rather than replicate, overbuilt cityscapes. Hayakawa erects boxes of varying heights along a grid, leaving voids in the volumes that create another level of complexity. Instead of reading as individual
buildings, the structures form an abstract composition.
I absolutely love the precision of his cuts as well as the way each purposely placed piece comes together to
create the big picture - a complex, geometric world.
