これは布を糸で縛ってできた手絞りの群集です。絞りの粒を集積させ、膨らんだ形は雨粒をため込んだ雲を思い浮かべます。作品は雲海のようにモコモコと蠢き、さまざまな様子を見せます。それぞれの絞りは小雨が降るように穏やかに動いていたかと思えば、突然雷が落ちたように激しく動くこともあります。
ひとつひとつは独立したような存在でも、大きな雲脈のように寄り添って生きている私たちがそこにいます。コロナ禍により、人との繋がりが希薄になる今だからこそ、感じてほしいことを表現しました。
This is a cluster of hand-drawn shibori made by tying cloth together with thread. The shibori grains are accumulated and the swollen shape reminds one of a cloud holding raindrops. The works wriggle around like a sea of clouds, showing a variety of different appearances. Sometimes the apertures move gently, like a light rain, and other times they move violently, as if suddenly struck by lightning.
Even though each one seems to exist independently, there we are, living close together like a large cloud vein. We have expressed what we want people to feel now that the corona disaster has made our connections with each other less strong.
