MIYAMORI'S TYPEWRITER
 |
|
When I first saw Keiko Miyamori's much-transformed
typewriter, I was surprised by my reaction. It was strong, and
it was emotional. For here was that most utilitarian of objects,
an old typewriter, totally transformed. It had a "living
presence" and literally "came alive" for me.
I felt drawn to its spirit and energy. I simply had to touch
it, to type on this machine. It was almost as if it had invited
me to experience it in a wholly different way. I felt truly
connected to it and experienced, firsthand, the power of nature
to transform an oft-neglected object into a work of art. All
too often we take common objects, like this typewriter, for
granted. We never really "see" them in the fullest
sense of the word.
