The Light Table Design Collective www.thelighttabledesigncollective.com Kodama Mama In our past work, we have often considered what forms the "spirit of a place" can inspire. For this installation, we explored what happens to the sense of a place, what movement and flow of materials are generated when these "spirits" multiply. A kodama, in traditional Japanese folklore, is a tree spirit and sometimes shapeshifter said to adopt the form of tree, animal, human or spirit creature. Kodama have been represented as embodying particular trees or imagined as nature deities freely roaming the forest. Here we imagined the body of a benevolent kodama splitting like a seed pod to broadcast new kodama through the Carkeek forest.
