“Kokoro: Adventure Awaits” A Mr. Tomonoshi Solo Show

Join Mr. Tomonoshi as he turns the Reeves Art + Design gallery into a living storybook of art and nature. Through an audio adventure, artwork, and sculpture, Mr. Tomonoshi tells the story of Kokoro, a young girl born with flowers in her hair as she explores the crisis and rebirth of her home, Brookokyo. Passionate about sustainability, Mr. Tomonoshi incorporates reclaimed wood into the majority of his work that he transforms through a Japanese process called “Shou Sugi Ban,” also known as “Yakisugi.” Literally translated as “burned cedar,” this method is traditionally used to preserve wood through charring with fire, reminiscent of the fire that the city of Brookokyo goes through. Join us for the closing reception January 12th from 6-9PM to experience the entirety of the epic tale of “Kokoro: Adventure Awaits.”
