Trees Talking

Nestled in the high branches of a Summer Oak on the riverbanks of the Port Eliot Estate in Cornwall, Hiromi Nakajima read from the book "Short Notes”. 

Trees Talking  presented an intimate glimpse into the artist's writings, a ribaldest psychic maze that tears ideas into fragments. 

Hiromi Nakajima’s versatility as a communicator is in evidence through her images and writings. Working in diverse media from delicate pen and ink to spray-painted water colours, often creating impressionist Rorschach images. Occupying aliminal space of translation where mountains can at once metamorphose into anatomies before our eyes.

With poems and extensive narrative texts that playfully engage with subjects from fairytale imagining to existential reflections all served up with the hesitance of a 21st century subjectivity.

Hiromi Nakajima has performed and exhibited artworks in Japan and Europe including Turner Contemporary Margate and Leaving Language for The Folkestone Triennial Collateral.
