This newspaper was never intended to become an artwork.
During the making of another work, it was placed beneath a panel in a folded state and simply received overflowing urushi that had been poured to create gradients.
What remains here is not a painted image, but the residue of an event that occurred in a particular moment.
Newspaper is originally a medium that records time—continuously updated, then discarded as its role ends. Here, however, it is released from its function of conveying information and becomes a surface that quietly receives the event itself.
Its folds, absorbed colors, and traces of flowing urushi make visible the time embedded within the act of making.
When this overlooked residue is re-defined as an artwork, Time becomes a place where memory, material, and presence quietly intersect.
The orientation of the work remains open and may be determined in relation to the exhibition space.
