TESHIMA, cycle of life

 A few weeks ago, I finally climbed BIG BAMBU, an artwork which nestled up the bamboo grove. Now I feel urged climbing it once again. This artwork is only available until September 23, 2014. It was installed for the SETOUCHI International Art Festival last year. Probably because it was popular, the artwork is still open but it has to be gone due to expenses and safety. Totally fantastic to climb the artwork and stand on the edge of the BAMBOO SHIP. 

I am also working on analyzing the YOKO-O KAN, a newest addition to TESHIMA. It's a museum showing the works of YOKO-O TADANORI. His paintings need investigation. It's much better to know their backgrounds and YOKO-O's personal history. A glance at the museum will be already thought-provoking but you can get to think more by knowing more. So, I'm trying to know more and think. Below are some of the recent photos from TESHIMA. It's a satisfying experience to rent a bike and ride it around in Teshima the whole day. I might be riding a bike again in Teshima soon.

 This artwork is always kind to Teshima scenery

Beautiful colors but my neck hurt looking up at it for a few minutes.
