postmodern self-portrait

Chiharu Mizukawa precious stones currently shown at Beppu Contemporary Art festival are made of artist's own leftover bathtub water solidified with gelatin. Unlike real jewelry they dry up and disappear. Although some would like to see her pieces as the reflection of the liquid character of art they can also be seen as self portraits.
