Kimio Tsuchiya works mainly with natural materials such as wood, stone, ash and recovered and old abandoned objects to produce works through which he attempts to rediscover the language of nature.
This double use of elementary materials and found objects enables the artist to build works that refer to memory and the passing of time. The artist works in such a way that the origin of his materials is apparent, thus leading the spectator to discover a narration in them.
Ever is an ovoid-shaped sculpture about three meters high. Inside this 'egg' made of bits of metal assembled and welded to one another, the remains of old chairs are piled together, repaired, broken or not, visible through the interstices of the bits of metal that surround their slow decomposition.
