Work Details

作品のコンセプト・制作意図

折り紙を《祈り神》(折り⇄祈り、紙⇄神)と読み解き、仏像に準えた技法で制作しました。

同じ形、色、サイズのものは制作しない、全てユニークピースでの発表を保証します。

制作手法や使用している道具

木曽檜を用いて彫刻し、岩絵の具で彩色しています。木曽檜は割れや反りが少なく、岩絵の具は劣化による変色や退色の恐れが少ない素材です。

It is carved using hinoki cypress and colored with mineral pigments. hinoki wood is less likely to crack or warp, and mineral pigments is a material with little risk of discoloration or fading due to deterioration.

作品やタイトルに込めた想い

折り紙は子供から大人まで親しみが持てるモチーフです。抽象的な形には日本人の美意識がとてもよく現れています。丁寧に折りを重ねて形を顕現させるプロセスは祈りを込めながら御仏を彫る仏師のようでもあります。

彫り、折り、祈り。

その単純な美しさは普遍的で何者にも貶められる事はありません。

Origami is a familiar motif to both children and adults. The abstract shapes of origami are very much in keeping with the Japanese sense of beauty. The process of carefully layering folds to reveal a shape is like that of a Buddhist sculptor who carves a statue of Buddha while praying.

Carving, folding, and praying.

The simple beauty of this process is universal and cannot be undermined by anything.
