陶芸家 / Ceramic Artist

柔らかい土に触れて、自分の動作によって形を変えていく成形の時間。
乾燥、焼成と過程を進めるごとに硬い物質に変化していき、それ故に出来る装飾の時間。
制作過程で沢山の驚きや感動を与えてくれる陶芸って、おもしろいです。

作品に投影されるイメージは、私の中を通り抜けたいろんな事柄がもとになり、
作ろうと思った時に自然に出てくる複数の要素から成り立っています。

Time for molding ― touching the soft clay and changing its shape by my own movements.
Time for decoration ― it changes into a hard substance through the process of drying and firing.
Ceramic art is fascinating because it gives us many surprises and impressions in its creation.

The images projected on my works are based on various things that pass through my mind,
and are made up of multiple elements that come out naturally when I think of creating them.
