伸縮性のあるポリエステル布と染織の絞り染め技法を用いソフトスカルプチャーを制作しました。隆起しうねった形は芯材を使わず、生地の特長を生かし、布のたるみと張力によって絞り1本1本が立つことで立体的な形を構成しています。
展示場所である、ビルの中にある柱を社ビルに見立て、超過労働の惨状をモチーフに、仕事に縛られながらもがく苦しむ人々を表現しました。柱の中心からじわじわと蝕まれ広がって、やがてそれがビルごと覆ってしまうようなイメージを柱の3面を使い空間をより意識させるよう工夫しています。鑑賞者は絞りを触ることで、より作品の世界観に近づけることができます。
Soft sculptures were created using elastic polyester fabric and the tie-dyeing technique of weaving.
The raised and undulating shapes do not use a core material, but make use of the characteristics of the fabric, and the sagging and tension of the cloth allows the individual strands of the tie to stand up and form a three-dimensional shape.
The pillars in the building where the work is exhibited are likened to those of a company building, and the work is inspired by the horrors of overtime work, showing people struggling and suffering under the constraints of their jobs.
The three sides of the pillars are used to create an image of a building that is slowly being eroded and spreading from the centre of the pillars, eventually covering the entire building, making the viewer more aware of the space. By touching the aperture, the viewer can get closer to the world of the work.
