自身にとっての造形とは
言葉になる前に受け取ってしまった感覚を、形を通してたしかめていく
そんな行為なのではないだろうか
仏像、動物、古くから残されてきた造形
惹かれるのは、対象そのものではなく、そこに漂う気配や存在の密度
時間を経たものに宿る静けさや翳、侘び寂びにも自然と惹かれる
素材を一つに定めないのも、それぞれが異なる時間や気配を纏っているからかもしれない
そうした素材が、見立てや組み合わせによって思わぬ像へと開かれていくのも面白い
際立った個性よりも、何が宿っているのか
触れてしまったものの気配を、形に現したい
Making Means to Me
Perhaps an act of confirming, through form, those sensations received before they could become words.
Buddhist statues, animals, forms that have endured through time.
what draws me is not the object itself, but the presence that lingers there, the density of its being.
I am also naturally drawn to the stillness, the shadow, and the wabi-sabi that dwell in things shaped by time.
Perhaps the reason I do not settle on a single material is that each one carries a different sense of time and presence.
I also find it fascinating that such materials, through association and combination, can open themselves into unexpected forms.
Rather than a striking individuality, I care about what dwells within.
I want to give shape to the presence of what I have happened to touch.
