    Walking in Minoh no Mori Project

    At the Minoh no Mori Artwalk 2015 (2 – 12 September at Minoh Park and facilities on Takimichi), I did “painting” in a broad sense, regarding the whole forest. I collected the colours, walking the Minoh no Mori (the Minoh forest), and restored them to a large canvas of the forest through my labour – this was the subject matter. Aesthetics would be (re-) discovered through the place Minoh; and a journey to “know” it was what I would like to depict and express here. The body of work should make the viewer experience for themselves what I have conveyed subtly in the tracks at the edges of canvas, such as the extent of time and world. It is what forms after the artist walks in and touches the Minoh no Mori (the Minoh forest), and what you see beyond your gaze. Both of us might be able to (re-) discover the attraction of Minoh, our internal beauty, or re-recognition of each of us. I wanted to make the body of work comprehensively as pure aethetics, consisting in the world realised in the viewer’s perception, when you really stepped in and touched.

    It has the important aspect for me to walk and take photos in order to “touch the boundary” between inner myself and the outer world. My work starts from this point primitively, speaking of very personal reasons. I hope these help you find some hints to “know” what I am doing for my art.

    Touch the boundary

    Touch the boundary

    Is it true that the boundary does not exist at this gallery with a concept of “no boundaries between life and art”, which is opened to an ordinary market, Sakurai Ichiba? In the Contemporary Art Gallery Zone, in which one of the walls is literally removed and opend to the public, I actually touched the space to search for the boundary, and saw what I would find beyond it. I painted the scenes of Sakurai Ichiba with the tracks of my physical action. The colours as the hint for what I see are the colours collected by myself from the market. You may feel that you cannot find any detailed explanations on the walls, mostly covered with white. However, I would like you to watch the record of my action on the screens, and to appreciate this installation referring to your memory, imagination and imagery by walking on the boundaries. Going back and forth, how does this shaky boundary make you feel?
