Japanese artist Onishi Yasuaki is fascinated with the molds, shells, and \u201creverse casts\u201d of objects that help shape our perception of the physical world. As an installation artist, Onishi designs large-scale works that respond to a building\u2019s architecture and the landscape outside its walls. His \u201creverse casts\u201d direct attention to the thin boundary between inside\/outside, visible\/invisible, and human\/nature.<\/p>\n

Stone on Boundary<\/em>\u00a0features 5,000 copper foils that are molded from river rocks in Osaka, Japan and Salt Lake City, Utah. The installation reflects Utah\u2019s vast and varied landscape \u2013 from river stones in deep canyons to the towering peaks of the Wasatch and Oquirrh Mountains and the dynamic red rock formations in southern parts of the state. This work was designed in Onishi\u2019s studio in Osaka, where Japan refined copper exports that supplied the world for over 200 years. Bringing these foils to Salt Lake City, home to the largest open-pit copper mine operating today, connects the two places through a shared material resource that has a profound effect on the world.<\/p>\n

Since 2013, the UMFA has commissioned contemporary artists to design a site-specific artwork that changes our experience of the G. W. Anderson Family Great Hall. Onishi\u2019s installation was commissioned specifically for this space and will be on view for 2-3 years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
