Question

guiding question: what question prompted these sculptures? yoshitoshi kanemaki is no stranger to human emotions, imbuing his playful sculptures with not one but several expressions all at once. the tokyo - based artist is known for his \glitched\ sculptures carved from single pieces of timber, and in his ongoing current series prism, he continues to explore the nature of distortion, reflection, and self - consciousness. while such shifts can be seen as a necessary social manner to keep life running smoothly, there are times when we lose the vision of our \true self.\... the idea for my new sculptures began with the question: what might the form of searching for ones \true self\ look like? #17 yoshitoshi kanemaki @kanemaki_yoshitoshi questions: 1. describe what you see. 2. what elements of art are used in this artwork? (at least one example explanation/how its used) 3. what type of art is this considered? 4. using 1 adjective (describing word) describe the artwork. 5. what materials are used to create this artwork?

4. Eerie. The multiple faces on a single figure create an unsettling and strange appearance.
