Timothy grass, cotton thread, wood. Site-specific installation, Onishi,  Japan.  

 A wooden frame — a kind of threshold — placed in an unremarkable field.  Strands of timothy grass, the kind that grows everywhere in this part of Japan, are tied along its upper edge and left to hang. The frame does  nothing to the field except ask the eye to enter through it. The piece proposes that the ordinary becomes visible only when given an edge.
