ねがみ くみこ

私のモチーフは主に人間と動物です。人間は放っておくとしくじりとおいたばかりの愚かな生き物ですが痛い出来事もカメラの視点を変えれば喜劇にもなります。物事も人間も多面的で誰もがどこかでマジョリティで、どこかでマイノリティだと感じるのです。動物は子供の頃から傍らにいるのが当たり前で自分との違いは二足歩行か四足歩行かくらいだと思っていました。自分と他のものはちょっと似ていてちょっと違う。皆が持っている弱点や矛盾をおおらかな心でながめて面白がる気持ちを忘れないようにしています。

My motifs consist mainly of people and animals.
People:
They are foolish creatures that do nothing but bungle and make mischief if left alone,
But even painful happenings can be turned into comedies by changing the camera's viewpoint.
Both things and people are multifaceted. Everyone feels that he (she/they) is a majority in some ways and minority in others.
Animals:
They have always been beside me right from childhood as a matter of course.
About the only difference between people and animals is that the former walk on two legs, and the latter, on four legs.
Animals break wind under the covers and snatch a morsel of salmon for a snack. This is no different from us.


We and others are a little alike and a little different.
I strive to never forget the amused feeling I get when gazing at the weaknesses and contradictions all people have, with a magnanimous outlook.

The materials I handle are wood, clay, and plastic.
To me, wood in particular is a special material. I was raised in a natural setting where hills and forests were my playground.
Trees that have lived longer than I and added many rings are noble. They are also tenacious. Their green color cannot be duplicated with pigments.
