Work Details
鶉野飛行場跡アートプロジェクトに招聘され、展示場所として用意された対空機銃座跡の作品を[はなむけ]、爆弾庫跡の作品を[たむけ]とし、対となる作品を制作した。戦地へ向かう父親や息子、兄弟、夫や恋人、友人を見送ったであろう残された人々の想いに焦点をあてて表現したインスタレーション作品です。
また、トランペット奏者とダンサーをお迎えして、この場所の歴史と作品から得たインスピレーションによる即興パフォーマンスをお願いした。アート作品とパフォーマンスを媒体として、場所の歴史や物語と、ここを訪れる人やこの場所を知らなかった人との対話の機会を生むことができればと考えた一連のアートワーク。
[はなむけ]は、「引き留めたい」「終わらせたい」のような感情を汲み、ここに設置されていた機銃を過去の資料などから再現するかたちで制作。包帯のような白い布でそれを包み、引き留める、または二度と使わない、といった心情を表す。[たむけ]は、爆弾庫跡に戦後植えられた桜の木からインスパイアされ、爆弾庫というキーワードから桜の色の砂(粉)を用いた作品を制作した。この空間をある種の祭壇と見立て、“彼ら”を見送る場所、その歴史に思いを馳せる場所とした。

I was invited to exhibit at the Uzurano Airfield Remains Art Project. I made a pair of artworks, [HANAMUKE] using the ruins of machine gun seat and [TAMUKE] using the ruins of bomb storage. It was an installation which focuses on the thoughts of those who are left behind, who may have seen off their fathers, sons, brothers, husbands, lovers, and friends on their way to the battlefield.
I asked a trumpeter and dancer to perform an improvisation inspired by the history of the place and the artwork. It was a series of artwork that hopes to create a dialogue between the history and story of this place and the people who visit here or who didn't know about it, using artworks and performances as medium.
[HANAMUKE] was created with feelings like "I want to stop him to go" or "I want to finish the war", and recreated the machine gun which used to be set up here based on historical materials. By wrapping it with a white cloth like a bandage, I tried expressing "to hold them back", or feelings of never using it again. [TAMUKE] was created with sands (powder) coloured in cherry blossoms, which I got inspired by the cherry tree planted next to the storage and by the keyword of bombs. It was regarded as an altar of sorts to see them off, and to reflect on their history.

Artist
Fine artist who pursues the boundary.
I paint extremely abstracted ‘landscape painting', focusing only on the single point of ‘extracting colour from the landscape’. This is a work that raises questions about the way we view landscapes in today's IT-enabled society, and aims to provide an opportunity to realise the essence of ‘landscapes’, which can now be easily recorded and viewed by anyone, while moving between the boundaries of real and abstract, analogue and digital. Photos of everyday life and landscapes are processed into mosaics, only colour information is extracted, and the dots with it are faithfully drawn with paint. But it’s supported without doubt by the analogue act of walking, the information processed digitally, and the colours reproduced by her hands. So how does the landscape painting convey the meaning of itself, which is broken down into “mix,” “paint,” and “depict,”, and how would viewers see them? She believes that the abstracted and sophisticated “paintings” can tell something more than “information” to the viewers by taking time to read and understand it. It is an information that includes minor phenomena such as the materiality of canvas, touch of paints, and the physicality of the artist. Moreover, it can be the viewer’s imagination that is embossed in front of a pared-down painting. Real and abstract, analogue and digital, physical and virtual. Crossing those boundaries, she also seems to quietly examine variations on our post-pandemic way of “walking” the world. While imagining the scenery the artist saw, I hope that the work will serve as a trigger to remind viewers of the meaning of the painting, their sense of beauty, and their own unique world.

人と人、人と場所、場所と記憶。わたしの作品は、厳密に言うなれば、その接点そのものでしかありません。こちらとあちらを繋ぎ、観賞者にあちらを“理解”しようと一歩を踏み出させる、そんな使命をもったトリガーとなる作品をつくりつづけたい。ご支援よろしくお願いいたします。
Strictly speaking, my artwork is just the single point of contact between people and people, people and places, places and memories. I want to continue creating artworks that would serve as a trigger with a mission to connect us with each other, and to make viewers take a step forward to "understanding" it. Thank you for your support!
