This exhibition consists of a series titled [propagate]. The artworks of the series fix the traces of frost crystals using paint. At the beginning of 2017, outside of my studio at the foot of Mount Hiei, I forgot to put away the plywood after painting it, leaving it exposed to the elements overnight. I got the idea for this technique from the traces of frost left on the plywood. Since then, every winter, I have repeated trial and error, leading up to today. Through accumulated experience and rough statistics, I have become aware of many elements involved in creating the artwork. Even so, there is no doubt about the existence of something microscopic that cannot be captured by numbers or measures such as temperature and humidity. The eloquent patterns of crystals are just a small part of what fills our surroundings indiscriminately. I think that, while dealing with the ever-changing natural phenomena, my own thoughts and physical sensations have also changed. In recent years, I feel the rich responses from nature in creating works using materials like paper and canvas that gently nestle on the ground. From such works, I am exhibiting new pieces from the 25-26 season.
