It hung on the wall and curled onto the floor. About 5 years later, after it was exhibited and entered a private collection, I was informed of two issues with the work: the green tint had faded away, and someone had stepped on the portion that extended onto the floor, damaging the work. After it was sent back to my studio, I noticed that the color on the front of the work had indeed faded (but not the color on the back which had been hidden from exposure to light) to a mere pale hint of green, as the particular tinting agent I had used was fugitive. Over a decade had passed, when I reapproached the damaged work this year. This fugitivity intrigued me. I peeled off the damaged bottom bit and it became a small work of its own. I transformed the main body of the damaged work\u2014playing with its flexible nature \u2013 into a newly reconfigured work, bearing little resemblance to the original. It is one configuration, among the many possible future incarnations. Where the bottom bit was torn away, the reflective polyester film encapsulated inside is now laid bare, with no protection \u2014 exposed and vulnerable. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Carrie Yamaoka: See-saw<br \/>\nThrough August 9, 2025<br \/>\nat anonymous gallery, New York, USA<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[1144],"class_list":["post-28680","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sculpture","tag-carrie-yamaoka"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.femininemoments.dk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28680","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.femininemoments.dk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.femininemoments.dk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.femininemoments.dk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.femininemoments.dk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28680"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.femininemoments.dk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28680\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.femininemoments.dk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28680"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.femininemoments.dk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28680"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.femininemoments.dk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28680"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
