Ayumi Shibata

日本艺术家 Ayumi Shibata使用层层叠叠的纸设计出复杂又奇幻的风景。她的一些雕塑是微雕，另一些则是身临其境的纸艺装置，所有的雕塑都通过光与影的作用变得栩栩如生。这些作品有着奇特的造型、茂密的森林，好像有天神居住的天空。Shibata 的用这种空灵景观构想了一个人类与自然形态共存的世界，艺术家认为纸代表阴，而作品发出阴影的方式与阳，无形的世界相关联。 “光代表精神和生命，太阳如何升起并为世界注入生命，” 纸同时也是一种神圣材料。 “看不见的‘神’ 精神存在于各种物体和事件、地点，以及我们的身体里，我用我的创作来表达我对神灵的感谢。我剪下的每一张纸都是一个祈祷。”

Japan-based artist Ayumi Shibata (previously) designs intricate landscapes using layers upon layers of white paper. Some of her sculptures are miniature, whereas others are immersive installations, and all are brought to life with the play of light and shadow, which create “movement” throughout her pieces. The works feature architectural domes, cave-like forests, and swirling suns hovering over tree-filled cities. These picturesque places aren’t based on a particular location but what the artist “hopes and believes the future of the planet could look like”.

Shibata’s ethereal landscapes envision a world in which humans and natural forms coexist, and she describes her pieces as having a “Yin and Yang” element. Paper represents Yin, the material, and the ways the works emit shadows correlates to Yang, the invisible world. “The light represents spirit and life, how the sun rises and breathes life into the world,” she explains. “I believe my pieces are a place to observe the material world and the visible one.”
