MEMORIAL OF ISAMU NOGUCHI

07  /   12   /   2018

Stones, plain and simple were Noguchi’s great love. The artist believed that any kind of art should “disappear” and become one with its surroundings, that there is no border between nature and architecture. In his water-rock sculpture, Noguchi tried to depict the harmony between rock and water. He recognized water as a natural maker of sculpture. The water stone is a sculpture made from basalt and it has a cut circle in the middle that representing the life cycle, and a symbol of enlightenment, perfection, and unity. “At any given moment stone is the sculptor and water is the material, but  over  the  course of time water is the sculptor and stone is the material.”
