From the publisher:
Monsters in My Head is an artist’s book by Otani Workshop that follows an intimate, autobiographical journey through fantastical childhood memories. Structured like a children’s book, it explores Otani’s path as an artist, where playful and uncanny monsters reflect early fears, curiosities, and creative impulses. Featuring eleven original paintings and handwritten text in English and Japanese, the book is a tactile object that invites introspection. Created alongside Otani Workshop: Monsters in My Head, his first solo exhibition in North America, the publication echoes the show’s emotional and material textures, including hand-built ceramics and new paintings. Together, they map a space where memory shifts and making becomes a way of understanding the self.
