Tamiko Kawata’s White Winter provides a whimsical and economical solution to the gradual disappearance of snow around the holidays. Selecting as a personal symbol of peace and reflection the hypnotic experience of watching snow fall, Kawata distills winter’s visual sound by replicating patterns of white paper dots. Adhered to the glass doors and windows of the Large Gallery, Kawata’s White Winter suggests a range of emotional and conceptual responses to nostalgic pursuits. Her commitment to collecting and methodically arranging materials rendered nearly invisible by their ubiquity allow for multiple levels of engagement with society’s collective tendency towards waste and environmental neglect. dmcontemporary.com/kawatabio.html
