He gets inside the skin of the work and expresses the artist\u2019s expressed and unseen ideas. Here he finds a sense of connection\u2026to the earth\u2026to deep geologic time\u2026to the process of making.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #cc9966;\">The percussion performance is dance and sound, extending the sculpture beyond it own physical being adding new sensory dimension to the experience of the piece. Makihara finds sound in the essence of the cedar, in its grain, in its built layered surface. He uses his body\u2013hands, arms elbows as well as found implements, whisks and super-ball mallets, to create a series of non-\u2018regular\u2019, open-spaced sounds that almost echo Fuhrman\u2019s process of constructing the sculpture.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #cc9966;\">Toshi becomes one with the sculpture, almost melting into it. The sculpture talks to me all through the process. Toshi made it sing to me. His sound piece embodied much of the concepts of ma space \u2013open interval\u2013extended time\u2013that I am trying to create in a contemplative space. \u2014<\/span><em><span style=\"color: #cc9966;\">James Fuhrman\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #cc9966;\"><br \/>\n<\/span> <span style=\"color: #cc9966;\">Next: <em><a title=\"Toshi Makihara \u2013 James Michener Museum of Art\" href=\"http:\/\/www.jfuhrman.com\/wordpress\/performance-collaboration\/toshi-makihara-james-michener-museum-of-art\/\"><span style=\"color: #cc9966;\">Performance Collaboration<\/span><\/a><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&lt;\u00a0 \u00a0I \u00a0 &gt; Performance Video &nbsp; Infinite Space \u2013 Unknowable Cedar, 8 x 9 \u00bd\u00a0x 3\u2032, 2007 Borowsky Gallery\/Gershman Y Philadelphia, PA, 2008 \u201cThe sculpture tells its own story.
