Lacquer on bambooexpand_more
Gift of Elizabeth and Willard Clark in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Minneapolis Institute of Artsexpand_more 2015.36.2
For this sculpture, Matsushima explored a coiling technique she learned in Myanmar that was originally used in crafting offering bowls and other vessels. She coiled split bamboo strips into the desired form and soaked the object in lacquer to bond the strips. She then cut and sanded it before applying thin layers of lacquer to the outside.
