Harmonica Setouchi Triennial 2010 - Teshima, Japan
Sue Pedley has worked with the Kou community of Teshima to make a large fishing net using traditional nori netting techniques.The net covers an abandoned house and storeroom, 'capturing' the lives of the absent family. The knotting and wrapping motif is continued in the home's interior, where domestic objects have been wrapped, furoshiki-style, in household remnants of clothing. Harmonica evokes stories of migration and family history at the same time it preserves age-old traditions.
