作品の展示場所である納屋の持ち主の出水さんは、長く神浦で暮らしていたようです。本邸は今年の夏に解体しましたが、残された納屋には出水さんの神浦の日々の暮らしを感じ取れるものが数多くありました。作品にはそのように生活の跡が残る柱や床板、杵や鍋蓋などを使っています。
それらを覆っている白い粒は「絞り」といい、ひとつひとつ手で絞って作っています。絞りを作る労働力や時間の集積を、出水さんが暮らしてきた記憶の痕跡と絡めるように構成することで、出水さんが日々行ってきた営みの積み重ねを抽象的に表現しています。
生活の記憶や時間の蓄積が交差する空間は鍾乳洞のような姿をしています。
Mr. Demizu, the owner of the barn where his works are exhibited, seems to have lived in Kamiura for a long time. The main residence was dismantled this summer, but there were many things in the barn left behind that give a sense of Mr. Demizu's daily life in Kounoura. In this work, I used pillars, floorboards, pestles, pots and pans, and other items that still bear the marks of daily life.
The white grains covering them are called "shibori," and are made by squeezing them one by one by hand. The accumulation of labor and time spent making the shibori is intertwined with the traces of memories of Demizu's life in order to create an abstract expression of the accumulation of Demizu's daily activities.
The space where the memories of daily life and the accumulation of time intersect is like a stalactite cave.
