O-jewel presents Christmas 2014
Thinking through Eating by Maki Okamoto
things have always more than one aspect
but most of them are hidden
often we only see a small part of the whole image
if we can open our mind and try to discover different points of view
we can live a happier life
it can brighten our day
the unique shape of these pieces of cutlery confuses you
or maybe makes you smile
it is more than cutlery
there is a connection to your emotion
you can play with it
… but in fact it is not more than just cutlery
–> The day when “Prinsesstårta” (princes cake ) is in front of you
19:00- Thursday 25 December 2014 @ O-Jewel/K, Nishiazabu
いつでもものごとはひとつだけでなく色々な側面がある
だけれどほとんどのものは隠されていて
私達はあるひとつの部分だけをみてしまう
もし心を開いて、違った側面も見ようとするならば
生きることはもっと幸せになり、
私達の日々を明るく輝かせることができる
このユニークなカトラリーたちはあなたを戸惑わせる？
もしくは、ほくそ笑む？
これはカトラリー以上で、あなたの感情に重なることができるから
好きな様に遊んでみてね
・・・でもカトラリーでありそれ以外のなにものでもない

Maki Okamoto
I am an artist who is born in Japan, live and work in Sweden.
I explore the field of corpus and contemporary jewellery with my sculptural background.
The ability which I got thorough working in the sculpture field creates pieces with balanced proportions and contrasting volumes.
My interest in making objects that communicate with an audience encourage me to challenge the conventional use of jewellery and corpus-works.
Using the idea of daily based objects such as the cup, spoon or book in unique ways, I offer a trigger to the viewer to see them from a different perspective.
I invite the audience to experience my work by touching them and being intimate with them.
