[Regarding the work] Regarding the concept of this work, I think that the first thing was bleeding in the human body. To express this twisted shape, I thought it would be easier to express it from the back than from the front, so the first drawing was a female human body with the Nakaumi in the background. The twisted and moving shapes such as the waist, shoulders, neck, and head are very interesting, and the work itself that expresses this is a work that requires a very realistic technique. However, this work itself must not bring out the technology, otherwise it will be a work that must be done. Another factor is how to grasp the mass, and by putting in work such as balancing everything by making the upper body smaller than the lower body, the human body sculpture that tends to end up in technical work is more and more. I'm trying to think of it as the shape of the human body in a realistic way, which is the concept behind my current human body work.
[Production] 2000 Yonago Sculpture Symposium
[Session] July 22nd -August 30th , 2000
[Participating in the Yonago Sculpture Symposium]
I've always wanted to participate in the Yonago symposium, but I came to Yonago with a wish, but what made me a little lonely was that I couldn't find a Kanban symposium in the city. I went to the venue thinking that it wasn't as exciting as I expected.
Mr. Funakoshi, Mr. Soda, Mr. Ikeda, and Mr. San welcomed me as if I was the first rider. I was just thinking that I had to finish the whole body image in the last 40 days. Anyway, I had decided before I came that I wouldn't go sightseeing at all until I got the idea, so I really wanted to start work as soon as possible. It looks like it was particularly hot this summer, but I didn't really feel it. I started working around 8am and worked until 6pm. I think I did it well now. I think this is also thanks to the volunteers, government offices, museums, and Asahimachi people. it was fun.
I don't think I had it mentally or mentally every day I just worked and went home. What I thought in the last 40 days is that the feelings toward the symposium are strong, so disagreements have surfaced, but it is strange that there is no symposium together. am. I think that the citizens of Yonago may not be aware that this symposium is well known in the center. There are quite a few sculptors who want to attend this symposium.
Even if this organization is not a monolith, I think that no one wanted to stop this symposium even after talking with various people. Volunteers, government offices, and museums all worked hard, and of course the participating artists were the same. Even if the budget is cut, even if there is no Kanban in the city, the writer (let's do it for me) knows that loneliness is something to feel, but fun and mercy are something to find. .. It was true that the last 40 days were more fun than lonely. I did my best to sculpt, drank alcohol, but it was a pity that I could hardly do sightseeing. I would like to make time to see it again.
A yacht gliding in Nakaumi early in the morning really soothed my heart. I couldn't climb the Yonago Castle Ruins, but the sunset over the Shimane Peninsula was really beautiful and I was happy to be able to spend such a time. I wonder how many years it has been for such a time. I also think that many women were beautiful.
Disagreements are commonplace, and things should continue once you start doing things. The contents should be enriched gradually, and I would like you to do your best as an exercise for this cultural activity. I forgot the loneliness I first felt in five days. Finally, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to the citizens of Yonago and pray for their further development.
