Eiko Nishida: Between Hours @ Kala Art Institute–Milvia/Addison Windows

Between Hours is an ongoing monoprint series—each piece a one‑of‑a‑kind work—exploring  the emotional and perceptual shifts that occur during travel, arrival, and liminal time, as well  as remembering loved ones no longer with us, feelings that often surface in the quiet space  above the clouds. Each print captures a moment within a dusk‑to‑dawn spectrum and other  nuanced times, sequenced by colour temperature and atmosphere, as well as the sensations  and emotions that arise. This series reflects on anticipation and stillness, and while rooted in  the artist’s own experience, it invites viewers to let their thoughts wander—toward their  travels, remembered loved ones, and moments of sentiment in their own way.
