    I joined the clay like the growing plants of early Spring.
    The young shoots overlap with the memories of people, growing strong and bringing forth the hope of changing seasons.
    The clay’s shape and form morphs along with my changing senses, getting caught briefly in the moment of the season’s transition.

  • Ceramic Cylinder for Images of Water Level

    Ceramics, Iron

    1,600×700cm (installation size)
    91×91×[104-210] (h)cm ×6pieces

    I stood six porcelain cylinders in the woods next to Ohgi-numa swamp. They form an image on the water surface between them, which depends on the water level. For example, one of the cylinders has, from the top, a circle, whitemountain saxifrage, the profile of a maiko’s face, a human fetus at four weeks, an ear, a snail, and the cross section of a rail.
