Iemoto Akane 10th year solo exhibition “Heartlines”
(2011)
Iemoto Akane solo exhibition celebrating her 10th anniversary as the Iemoto, held at the Spiral Garden in Omotesando, Tokyo in May 2011.
In the hall built in the wellhole style, 100 pieces of round bamboo were raised in a dignified manner and bands of spilt bamboo ran around freely in the space. The invigorating energy of the work blew a breeze into our hearts, which were falling apart due to the Great East Japan Earthquake, and brought courage and hope to us.
