Kawauchi's themes
of family, human interaction with nature and the cycle
of life are photographed in pastel colours.
her work reveals exquisite delicacy, achieved through sensate
compositions, a careful attention to texture and the cultivation
of a beautifully clear, clean, often whitish light.
she interweaves sensitized ways of perceiving the world
around her, with the fleeting conflations of forms that make
you wonder how one photographer mangaged to be present,
attuned and ready to photograph so many pungent
observations.
