Closed on Sun and Mon
The Third Gallery Aya is pleased to present a solo show of works by Inagaki Tomoko, entitled Decalcomanie.
Inagaki will exhibit works made with the technique of decalcomania (image transfer), left-right symmetry or what appears to be left-right symmetry, and mirror effects. Those are based on her previous works in various media such as video, photography, and drawing.
She will develop images of consciousness and unconsciousness, the body, twins, and the feminine, elicit internal narratives in the viewer from an accumulation of fragments.
