■Artist comments
It was a residence life where I was able to reconfirm “what kind of existence I am” by being with nature.
The atelier is in the woods, so in the morning there are deer families
Dragonflies, frogs, field mice, and creatures I wouldn't normally meet came to play.
It gets completely dark at 17:00, so I'll have finished walking and production by then.
night. When I'm reading a book,
Various visitors came to the lighted house.
Like being invited by creatures that cannot be seen during the daytime, such as geckos, moths, and bats,
I also ran out of the house and walked down a completely dark street.
Wrapped in a dark curtain that was a little chilly and fluffy
While being afraid of an invisible enemy, I felt the forest with my whole body.
It felt so “unreal” and it was great.
Normally, I think about the city and people individually, but
There are no boundaries in the woods
I'm in the woods.
Even in painting, I don't draw by separating the background from myself,
I was drawing with the awareness that the background (nature) and I are the same thing in this world
Living in this residence was an opportunity for me to once again feel “nature (nature).”

Artist

Born in Osaka
The people I want to draw are fragmentary memories of the world, time, living creatures, wind, and the sea, sometimes men, women, mermaids, and birds, and they all exist everywhere while transforming their appearance like grains. We are not “bodies with souls,” but can also be called “souls with bodies.” While controlling the shape of a human being, it is a stone, soil, bone, and blood, and the numerous sedimentary layers of life (space) are probably the only generation of the “soul.”

自然と一緒になることで、私が「どんな存在なのか」を再確認出来たレジデンス生活だった。
アトリエが森の中にあるので、朝になると鹿の家族や
トンボや蛙、野ネズミたち、普段出会う事のない生き物たちが遊びに来てくれた。
17時には真っ暗になるので、それまでには散歩や制作を済ませる。
夜。本を読んでいると、
明かりが灯るお家にさまざまな来訪者がやって来た。
ヤモリや蛾、コウモリなど昼間には見られない生き物たちに誘われるように、
私も家を飛び出し真っ暗な道を歩いた。
少し肌寒く、モワモワとした闇のカーテンに包まれて
目に見えない敵に恐怖しながら、全身で森を感じた。
それがとても「非現実」を感じられて最高だった。
普段は街や人を個々別々に考えてしまうけれど、
森の中では境目はなく
森の中に私がいるのだ。
絵画においても、背景と自分を切り離して描くのでは無く、
背景(自然)と私はこの世界において同じものであるという意識で描いていたので
このレジデンス生活は改めて私に「自然(じねん)」を感じさせてくれる機会となった。
