The exhibition "Read Me a Story, Daddy", features ceramic sculptures including three large pieces, wood sculptures and a video work. The work titled "tree (house)" is about 140cm, and has a face resembling the artist. Through the holes of its eyes, life of funny creatures inside can be seen. Koide continues his exploration of his family's life with a new member, following his last solo show "Maternity Leave". He introduces a new medium, a video, which he shot his own work at home with a voice reading picture books
