Work Details
自然、人、時、住、という吉野林業にまつわるネットワークをテーマとした作品です。
年輪の細かさ、均一さが美しい吉野杉は、人が自然に働きかけた産物です。そんな素材で作られた住宅や家具が美しいのは言うまでもないですが、吉野杉が生息する空間そのものも美しい、と吉野山に入って感じました。地面にはふさふさとしたシダの絨毯、有機的な空間にまっすぐな線を作る杉自身、そしてなによりも頭上を見上げれば、杉が作る美しい放射状の線とレース模様。吉野林業は100年も200年も前の人たちが、自分の死後に伐採されるような杉を育て、未来の人に託していくという、人の時間感覚を超えた世界でもあります。今あるこの景色も先人たちが作ってきた、美しい杉を育むための意味のある景色で、今しか見ることができないのかもしれません。
年輪一年分の面皮で編まれ、杉が住む空間でくつろいでいるのは、これまでに吉野林業に携わってきた先人です。過去、現在、幾多の人が交編しています。
ここでゆっくりしていって、彼と一緒に子孫の成長を見上げてみてください。そしてぜひ写真を撮ってみてください。

Chikaraishi considers the structure of knitting as a crystalline structure, and is interested in the characteristics that continue to transform and circulate through the act of unraveling. She creates her works by comparing knitting to the way the world is formed. ●Education 2004 BFA, Department of Information Design, Tama Art University ●Selected Solo Exhibitions 2023 CHIKARAISHI Saki In-Residency Production and Exhibition "Fiber!
