【構造用合板/Structural Plywood(Larch)】

丸太を桂剥きにし、貼り合わせた一般的な合板。 桂剥きによって現れるゆるやかな木目の繰り返しの中に、林立する湾岸マンションや建て売りニュータウンなど現代の都市像を重ねる。

Structural Plywood (Larch)Ordinary plywood made by peeling logs with a rottary cutter and then laminating the slabs together. The rotation result in a grain repetition that appears like examples of modern urbanistic patterns, such as rows of condominium plots or the development of brand new urban areas.

都市を形作る工業製品である合板の構造に、都市の風景を重ねて見る。そこには、どこも同じように見えてしまう現代都市の情景が浮かび上がってくる。

Series to reflect urban landscape-like patterns in the structure of plywood, an industrial product used in the actual construction of cities. Some of these sceneries seem to repeat themselves while others look alike yet diverge. The fragments of nature that appear in the grain of the plywood are the result of a streamlined manufacturing process. For us, this may be nature in a convenient way.
