A gold-orange loop-headed figure, tiny people standing in the rings, Forever adventure in the World!! at the base. Tanaka’s own method as a picture: keep studying, keep looping, keep going. Matches the artist statement — many studies, one root.
This is the work for a reader, a teacher, anyone who is not finished. The little figures live inside the loops the way he lives inside his subjects. A small canvas with a long instruction.
