When something is absent, one notices its presence.
There are no mountains in London and southeast England where I have resided for nearly 30 years. The culture and folklore　nurtured on flat landscapes seems to be fundamentally different from the culture and folklore nurtured living near mountains. I am interested in the relationship between people living in a particular natural environment and their belief system, as well as the contact points between the natural environment and people.
For this exhibition, I was very intrigued by the naturally high acidity level of the Agatsuma river. I have created a new body of work using the river to carve materials.
