Eiji Yamane uses string to communicate his unique worldview. He starts by creating a line drawing that layers floral motifs with a figure in movement (full-body self-portrait). He then reinforces those lines with dyed cotton string, creating a human figure fabricated from a thin sheet of lace. In addition to exhibiting this work at Roppongi Art Night, the artist will also conduct a workshop where participants can employ the same techniques to create their own artwork. The complete work will come together through the finished pieces made by each participant.
