Janet Laurence

Abstract

Elixir is a site-specific permanent artwork that forms part of the ‘necklace’ of art, architectural and landscape projects that are transforming a mountainous traditional rice-farming community in Echigo Tsumari, Nigata Prefecture, Japan. These works form an exploration of reflected and veiled environments in the physical world. They allow one to engage with a way of looking within the world rather than at the world.
