Scenery seen by pumice

Framed image box-shaped picture frame with acrylic glass
(Since it is drawn on a paper file, it is a work that makes it difficult to remove dust and dirt. (For long-term exhibitions, we recommend framing or using a case)

The landscape seen from the small stone on the side of the work is drawn on a black paper file with that stone. By drawing with that stone, individuality such as the color and hardness of that stone appears in the picture. Since it was a very soft stone with large particles, it had a unique finish.

This is a view from the viewpoint of a roadside pebble. That pebble will also be attached to the work. I'm drawing on black sandpaper with those pebbles, just like drawing with chalk on a blackboard. The pebbles on the side of the road literally turn my body into powder, painting the world around me in my own colors and from my point of view. That point of view and that moment of the surroundings are unique. “Roadside stones” are synonymous with “worthless things.” But that value standard is only for use. We are part of nature, but we tend to forget that.

Exhibited at the 2017 Art Salon Kinkodo Solo Exhibition (Nagoya City)

Draw with stones on sandpaper: photograph the landscape from the perspective of roadside pebbles.
Based on that photo, I will draw a landscape with that stone on black sandpaper. Similar to writing with chalk on a blackboard, it is drawn using a stone that can be scraped and black sandpaper lines can be drawn.
