ARTISTS
AONO Tadashi
I create my works by melting and cutting raw iron bars one by one and piling the pieces up. Iron is born from the earth, it acquires various shapes, and it’s blown far and wide by chance and by the wind, only to eventually return to the earth. I am overwhelmingly guided by this thought when I am creating my iron works.
