Shadow . 1984/97
The materials Takamatsu chose were always ready at hand. Sometimes they were tangible – everyday objects such as bottles, cloth, string, stones or furniture. Other times they had a strong association to sculptural traditions – such as marble, wood, concrete and iron. Significantly, he made use of intangible properties – perspective, shadows and numbers. These he made material and metaphorical in objects, events and drawings, giving form to the imponderables of space and time.
