Statement

 

I'm a visual artist, who works in the mediums of sculptures, site-specific installations,  and photographs. I attempt to express the notion of boundaries, and the quiet unknown world lying beyond lived experiences. My visual investigations represent inseparable yet opposite ideas - interior and exterior, sanctity and secularity, eternity and demise. I use straight thin steel and cut glass to make my work. The hard, cold, reflective and fragile properties of steel and glass possess defining characteristics. These materials are cut, welded, inlaid, combined together.  By exploiting the environmental and architectural features of the spaces in which they are presented and in addition to the innate qualities of the materials, my work generates a strong sense of tension lying at the boundary between the known world and what lies beyond it.

私は彫刻、インスタレーション、写真を媒体に制作しています。境界の概念と、生の先にある静謐な未知の世界を表現しようと試みています。私の視覚的な探求は、内と外、神聖と世俗、永遠と終焉、不可分でありながら相反する概念を表現しています。作品の制作に、硬い鋼鉄とガラスの破片を使います。ガラスは硬く冷たく、光りを反射し、脆い特徴を持っています。硬質な金属と壊れやすいガラスを象嵌し組みたてます。作品が展示される空間の環境的・建築的特徴と、素材の特性を際立たせることで、既知の世界とその向こうにある境界の強い緊張感を生み出します。
