Constructed Communication is a combination of talk and technique.
Nakayama, Sinbondit and Venom, re-appropriate traditional craft techniques with their chosen materials, novel approaches, and contemporary dialogues. The work in this exhibition provides a counter-note to the fast-fabrication alternatives that sometimes clutter the modern world. Rather than standing in opposition, they provide alternate points of view that open new portals of understanding and use.
