The Mountain Will Tell Me was an outdoor exhibition held at Hase House in Kamikawa, Hyogo, Japan in August 2026, featuring artists Ryan Foerster, Daniel Innes, Koga Kishi, Christy Kunitzky, Shinpei Kusanagi, Sarah Sands Phillips and Mario Tauchi.
Prior to the exhibition, I wove textiles knowing I would be creating works by integrating them into the garden using what materials were on hand. These works came together quickly, using provisional methods and objects found on site.
