Her pictures move between science fiction and the everyday, always with a gentle, slightly melancholy air.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMoment is one of her quietest images. Two girls stand together in the middle of an empty coastal road, utility poles and white houses on either side and the sea glinting at the far end. One wears a striped bandeau and a ribbon in her silver hair; the other is buttoned into a dark coat, a strand of hair caught in her mouth by the wind. At their feet the road marking 830 is painted in loose white strokes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSilkscreen is laid over the pigment print, so the soft pencil and paint textures of the original stay vivid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"jp-details\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aya Takano\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTitle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2020\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedium:\u003c\/strong\u003e Archival pigment print with silkscreen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSignature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Offered as hand-signed and numbered in pencil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImage size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 35.3 x 28.4 cm (13.9 x 11.2 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSheet size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 44.1 x 37.3 cm (17.4 x 14.7 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrame:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unframed sheet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kaikai Kiki (as stated)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSizes as stated; please allow a gentle margin of about 1 to 2 cm (0.5 in).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew and unused; described as kept flat as a loose sheet since it was first delivered, never framed or hung.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo marks, creases or fading are described or visible in the photographs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition grade \u003cstrong\u003eS (unused)\u003c\/strong\u003e on the Japanese scale; see \u003ca href=\"\/es\/blogs\/news\/japanese-condition-ranks-explained\"\u003eJapanese condition ranks, explained\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAuthenticity \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOffered as hand-signed and numbered from an edition of 50, and described as acquired directly from Kaikai Kiki.
