it always annoying that tumblr makes you click twice to blow a scan up but I think this painting is a good example of how faint it looks smaller and how making it bigger reveals a lot. So, if you are game, click here and then click again to enlarge

Masao Kinoshita's "Metanatomy."
Currently on view at Beinart Gallery in Melbourne, Australia is artist Masao Kinoshita's solo exhibition, "Metanatomy."
Masao Kinoshita, a Japanese artist, approaches his work by dividing the world into two concepts: "content" and "space." Content refers to everything that humans have created, such as words, culture, and time, while space includes everything in the universe. Although space cannot be perceived by humans, content helps us to create mental files for our understanding of space.
Kinoshita's sculptures explore themes such as animals, human figures, and costumes, which are all content made from his accumulated files. In his collection, there is a sculpture of an animal with a half-skeleton that was created over ten years ago. Kinoshita hopes that people who see his work will feel the space that it occupies.
The Creative Work of Sound “Sound, light, vibration, and the form blend and merge, and thus the work is one. It proceedeth under the law, and naught can hinder now the work from going forward. The man breathes deeply. He concentrates his forces, and drives the thought-form from him.” Spirograph, developed by British engineer Denys Fisher and first sold in 1965.
