The above artwork comes from a series that Yamazaki produced in 2020, made from pieces of clothing (among them shirts, pants, overalls, and scarves) to which thick yarn is sewn. This one is the largest of the full-body suits, and it is made from an army green Dickie\u2019s jumpsuit. This creation introduces a multi-directional sense of perspective and depth. On the one hand, we could perceive the yarn adornment as a \u201ccover\u201d of the clothing item cocooned within, in the spirit of fashion with a utilitarian function. However, if we shift the perspective to the exterior of this creation and its sculptural dimension, the work rather evokes an anthropomorphic\u2014albeit headless\u2014rainbow-hued human form in its own right, made of an overgrowth of interweaved botanical life. This effect is accentuated in part by Yamazaki\u2019s contrasting interlacing of white yarn throughout the predominantly red-tinted body suit, which minimally contours the object in a manner akin to static electricity from the frayed ends of wires moving along the surface of a body instead of in the depths. The perspectival shift enacted in the work from depths to surface also demands a shift from the artist\u2019s reflection on the idea contained within the work, so to speak, to the \u201clive\u201d abstraction of artistic labor itself.
