\u201cThe Time of Stone, the Time of Objects, the Time of People.
\nIn the intersection of these, a work comes into being.\u201d<\/p>\n
Between the eternal time that stone possesses and the time of tools born from human life,
\nHidetoshi Muramatsu excavates the layers of memory that lie in between through the act of sculpture.<\/p>\n
Objects once used and having fulfilled their roles are given new breath as stone once again.
\nThough their function is lost, their presence remains\u2014
\neventually becoming \u201csculptures of time\u201d that connect the past and the future.<\/p>\n
\u201cFunction ceases, yet existence remains.\u201d<\/p>\n
A chance encounter at an antique shop,
\nor a quiet realization that comes after years spent with an object\u2014
\na moment when he thinks, \u201cIt is time to turn this into stone.\u201d
\nFrom that calm resolve, fragments of everyday life begin to fossilize,
\nguided toward eternity.<\/p>\n
Return to Stone \u2014
\nUnder the thought that \u201call origins lie in stone,\u201d
\nMuramatsu contemplates the cycle in which all things return once more to stone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","format":"standard","exhibitions_year":[7],"class_list":["post-930","exhibitions","type-exhibitions","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","exhibitions_year-year_2025","en-US"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
