geo. (print)
Isamu Hazama picked up 10 stones while looking for footing bases for signage of the religious sites around his place.He asked a stonemason to make holes of 60 mm to insert wooden poles and to flatten the bottom of the stones so that they will sit stably on the ground. When he received the stones back from the stonemason, they were still wet after the cutting process, and they seemed to be almost alive. No single one of the ten stones had the same color or pattern, and the contours created by nature stood out in contrast to the precise 60mm holes. He decided to capture the beauty of these geological shapes with geometric circles before they were installed on site. He carried the approximately 50 kg stones home one by one, applied India ink, placed Japanese paper on top, and rubbed them by hand. The resulting by-product is a series of these prints.
