As a fan of woodworking and color these pieces look amazing….
HARVEST by haroshi’s Skate & Destroy exhibition at Tokyo’s PLSMIS Gallery completely refigures the idea of art and skateboard decks and makes simply painting on decks seem like cave drawings.
“I looked at these unusable decks every day and thought there must be something I can make with these. I decided to make some accessories with the old decks and this was the birth of Harvest. The works of Harvest are through the perspectives of a skater and as an artist. As a skater, I want to take responsibility of reusing skateboards when they were no longer useable. Also, as an artist I want to explore the possibilities of what can be done with skateboards. We see the care and effort that a skater can have for his/her deck and we also acknowledge the origins of a skateboard. We believe that if the small things we do can connect to sustainability then we’re doing something right. We’d be satisfied in our effort when people look at products and start thinking of ways to recycle.”
