Undulating in a Utah Museum of Fine Arts gallery, thousands of glimmering casts seem to float throughout the space. For his large-scale installation "Stone on Boundary," Japanese artist Yasuaki Onishi has suspended 5,000 copper foils that he molded over river rocks in both Osaka and Salt Lake City. Begun in the artist's studio in Osaka-a city where Japanese copper has been refined for export for around two centuries-the installation then traveled to the museum, which sits less than an hour's drive from the world's largest operational open-pit copper mine.
The installation consists of four parallel metal cables stretched across the rooftop, anchored with counterweights. Suspended from these lines are twelve linen canvases measuring 2.5 × 1.5 meters each. The system establishes a balance between the rigidity of the steel structure and the lightness of the semi-transparent . As the canvases respond to wind and movement, the installation becomes dynamic, creating shifting spatial thresholds for visitors to move through.
