‘Boundary’ is the first book by Takatoshi Kuronuma, published on the occasion of a solo exhibition at the Shoken Izu gallery in Japan. The self-taught artist, who studied the basics of woodcarving at a vocational school before becoming a freelance sculptor in 2010, believes sculpture creates a point of contact between two things we share: self and other, man and nature, himself and the world. As he writes, “I have recently come to believe that I am not sculpting to draw a line, but to create a point at the boundary of these two things, which are immediately divided when I write these words.” Hauntingly beautiful human and animal figures populate the pages of this book.
