無意識の意図 unconscious intention
Even if I try to convey it in words, I can’t express it. From an early age, I was not good at communicating my thoughts. And, I was not good at understanding myself. My artwork is a clue to my heart. What does my heart think and what do I draw? I draw words to know my heart. Like a picture, like a letter.
具象と抽象の往還 intertsect concrete and abstract
Words (letters) are symbols made by abstracting something concrete. Throughout its long history, it has been repeatedly absorbed and culled to create a sophisticated and beautiful present shape. While it has become familiar to many people now, the characters themselves have become concrete. Even if you look at a certain character, you can understand only the fixed meaning and cannot imagine anything more than that. I wondered if I could regain the rich image of words (letters).
象形の憧憬 create hieroglyphs and feeling
Calligraphy is a “black and white” world. However, I think the words (letters) handled are different. One expression has various meanings, and expressing one thing in various ways is the richness, colorful, and goodness of Japanese.
Words (letters) are communication tools. I think it’s not just the meaning, but the role of communicating the images (impressions) that everyone has.
花 flower
These character are used for female names in Japan. Women are flowers, because they are beautiful, gentle and strong. I draw the letters. So, these are the women I draw.
