I would like to try to answer those questions in my way as simple as possible, but I think it's better to digest your questions more and think about it more.
Just one thing, it reminded me my pottery master's words (He is a Japanese, it was said more than 15years ago) about 作為(intention) and 無作為(un-intention).
He said, (in Japanese traditional pottery world) you need to create an artwork with 作為, but it shouldn't look like it has been made with 作為. So you need to make 無作為 with 作為.
In order to achieve this state, he was making the same flower vase again and again and again for 30 years.
I remember Jackson Pollock said similar thing about his famous painting although he didn't practice it for 30 years.
How do you think about those 3 sculptures except Kurokawa's. Were those made with 作為 to make 無作為 or just 無作為？
If you'd like to join in the discussion, simply send me your comment in an e-mail via my Contact page on my website: http://www.rosemariepowellsculpture.co.uk/index.html
I will then post it on this blog, if indeed you're happy for me to do so.
