Sachiko Kodama, Still Life
Although the still life has been a major subject in art
for a long time, Sachiko Kodama’s Still
Life is not static at all. It is a kinetic sculpture using magnetic black liquid
(ferrofluid), moving as if it breathes in a glass container shaped like an
apple. The ferrofluid in the glass buds and changes shape like seeds, vascular bundles, or bunches
of fruit. The contrast between the black (the color of the ferrofluid and
the shadow) and the red (the tray) is strong and vivid.
