To those familiar with Taniguchi’s work, here the bricks present themselves again. Just as each individual brick forms part of a painting, so each painting forms part of a larger body. For the artist, the brick paintings combine as one work. Inside the studio they observe time, development, and process. The architecture these walls create therefore carry a different structural concern: the bricks not only build, they measure. Every filled brick behaves like a tally line locked to the next, always counting and recording. The finished paintings are then journal entries inside of which different things have happened. In this way, each completed work, each show, each appearance presents a continuing and recurring event from the mind to the studio outwards; as their numbers grow, they become a conceptual demarcation of practice.
