Mamiko Otsubo

From One to Many (After MP)

2014

Mamiko Otsubo, From One to Many (After MP) , 2014, mirror polished stainless stell, nylon, erethane automotive paint, PS 343, Queens From One to Many is a site-specific sculpture located in the double height alcove between the second and third floor of PS 343 Queens. The artwork was created by artist Mamiko Otsubo and is intended to be viewed from below looking up, as well as at eye level through the windows on the floor above. The piece is comprised of a 4’ x 10’ tall high-polished mirror with a yellow sphere and white form popping through it. Seen all together, the pieces transform into a whimsical landscape where the mirror acts as the sky, the sun appears rising up from the bottom and a light, puffy cloud floats at the top. The reflective quality of the mirror surface further adds to the artwork by allowing all the surrounding elements to become part of the skyscape, including viewers. Each time a student or adult appears in the mirror, they become part of the piece for that moment. The artwork is therefore always changing. It is picture where, as the artist describes, “There is no past and there is no future. There is only the present… meaning is brought to the piece anew, each time by those who see themselves in it.” Mamiko Otsubo, From One to Many (After MP) , 2014, mirror polished stainless stell, nylon, erethane automotive paint, PS 343, Queens From One to Many is a site-specific sculpture located in the double height alcove between the second and third floor of PS 343 Queens.
