Hiromi Tango's Art Magic: Cathartic practices for mental health
Hiromi Tango’s sculptural installations are dense aggregates of bound, wrapped, stitched and anxious thoughts. Within the framework of her project Art Magic each piece signifies a small cathartic remnant performed by hands tidily bandaging the maker’s anxieties. Tango weaves this empathic dialogue with her workshop participants into her works, seeing them as the labour of many and as iterations rather than conclusions.
