When making art for the garden Nagasaki wants to transpose the essence of deep meditative thought into the beauty of natural form.
The act is not to create nature by sculpting but to preserve nature by
casting. Using materials such as bamboo, leaf, and stone, and changing
their material state into glass and bronze represents a kind of rebirth
of the natural elements, giving light and energy back to the garden. These
art objects also represent a kind of MEMENTO for the garden that contains
profound sense of beauty. The symbolism method, which materialises the
invisible realm of the memory is a strong influence in the Japanese garden
embodying the spirit of Zen.
Nagasaki comments: "Seldom is the art set in my garden insistent.
Rather it is of things sweet and ambiguous, permeating the atmosphere and
becoming almost invisible. "
