Trace

By making plaster casts of objects and using photography, I wish to evoke the traces and identity of the person who has held and used it. 

When used, the “Nature” of the object is changed and its more personal elements can be drawn out and made clearer through the transformation that a cast makes to it.

Before the object is transformed by the casting process it is transfixed by its Literal Identity and place but afterward it may be possible to free its more fleeting emotive and personal attachments and associations.

These associations and the new space provided by the particular change of medium may promote the freedom to reflect and hold, perhaps in one’s mind, differing feelings and memories.

I would like to create a sense of the fleeting and the ephemeral. Our humanity, and the non corporeal. To try to create the conditions for a mindful space between an artist and one who may share similar experiences.

Trace ( 痕跡 ）

人の使用した物体を型取りそれを写真という手法を用いて物の持つ人の痕跡、気配を表現したいと思っています。
人が使用した事で物は無機的から有機的へ、それを型どる事で人の痕跡、気配がより明確になっていきます。
型を取る前の物体は限定的なイメージは与えてくれますがあくまでも限定されたイメージでしかありません。
型をとることで個性が消え無名性が生じ痕跡、気配が増幅していきます。
手でなぞり型を取るという作業が多様なイメージを封じ込めるという事もあるでしょう。
そのイメージは漠然としたものです。
次々と現れては消えていきます。
そこに人は存在していませんが人の気配が漂っています。
見るのではなく感じ、漂う。
ただ漂っている気配を感じ、共に漂い続ける。

TRANSITION

“Time” is the theme of this photo series.

Using flowers and my handmade object d'art as catalyst,time shows it's appearance on my photographic paper. I want to express “time” in a photographic way and to have the viewers join me to feel the “time”.

The process of decay witnessed through my lenses.....is like quietly fading away,.....is like brutally crashing down. Sometimes their beauty (which will never be the same when once lost) seems to have power to freeze the time to make their moment eternal. Every moment of the flowing time has it's own beauty.

When I float on a time where things are experiencing their rich moments of decay, I take pictures of flowers and my object d'art ,and yet, I never take pictures of flowers and my object d'art.

I hope to catch the drifting time itself. I want to express the reality of the time which is always slipping away, passing by, heading for eternity which is where it came from.

「時の経過」がこのシリーズのテーマです。

花と自作オブジェを触媒として使う事で時間を表現しています。
写真的手法で時間を表現し、その時間を感じる体験を鑑賞者と共有したいと思っています。
レンズを通して目撃された、朽ち果てて行く過程には
.......... 静かに消え去っていく
.......... 荒々しく(無慈悲に)崩れ落ちていく 時に、それらの美しさは、時間を凍らせてその瞬間を永遠のものにしてしまう力があるようです。
(一度失われれば二度と現れないのですが)
流れゆく時間の、それぞれの瞬間に独自の美しさが有ります。
朽ち果てていく物体自身が経験している贅沢な時間の中に私が漂う時私は花とオブジェを撮るのですが、
けっしてそのものを撮っているのではありません。
流れゆく時間そのものを捕まえたいのです。
常にすべりゆく時間を、流れ去る時間を、永遠から来て永遠に向かう時間をその実態を感じたいと思っています。
