Mr. Matsumoto, or Boko, is to be seen at Paul Smith’s in Covent Garden, London, Boko makes lovely wooden sculptures of modern technological objects. Born 1962 in a Japanese village by the sea, he studied at Shimane Polytechnic University in one of Japan’s most sparesely-populated regions.
I love his work. It’s as if a cargo cult never gave up, then found its own magic.
Little wooden boy? SPOON!
I want one!
Pity they don’t sell them online… although I’d guess, given the amount of work that goes into them, they wouldn’t be cheap. And shipping halfway across the world wouldn’t be insignificant either.
