Profile

Since 2002, I have been presenting at solo and group exhibitions and symposiums. For about 10 years until 2012, I produced artworks using granite and marble as the material with budgerigars as the motif.

I began production at atelier ABA/Glacière in Paris in 2012. There I met Sculptor Sylvie Lejeune, and was drawn to the appeal of wood materials. Even after returning to Japan in 2015, I continued to make use of trees obtained at home or in the neighborhood, such as cherry, persimmon, ginkgo, and oak.

In 2015, I produced “En l'air” (In the air) with the theme of internal and physical balance and imbalance triggered by the soil liquefaction that occurred in various areas due to the earthquake disaster on March 11th, 2011. The sculptures I produce hang without using a pedestal or has little surface in contact with the wall and floor.

In 2017, I represented my ideal female image (mother) with a planar solid (a solid without volume). I branched from there, and since 2018 I have been producing a series called "Au fil du temps"/transcend time and space. From "Au fil du temps", I am expressing the "fil"/sewing strings using strings, and "temps"/time as the connection of time that transcends time and generations.
