| Concept | 鳩や鴉シリーズは作者もいうように、「生きる道標（みちしるべ）」なのである。日記風にたどった膨大なデッサンに支えられ、反省し、まとめ、壊し、作る楽しさをかみしめ、作者がつかみとったひとコマひとコマがこめられたシリーズである。ブロンズ化されものだけでも全部で鳩が六十数種、鴉が十数種にのぼる。宇部市立図書館には制作年代も作風も違う四体の鳩が展示され、読書する人々に目の疲れを癒すひとときを与えてくれる。「自然に内在する量の移動、量と量のひしめき」-四体の差異が見えてくる。 As the sculptor suggests, pigeons and crows are “signposts of survival”. The series of birds is the embodiment of the massive amount of drawings, produced like writing a diary, based on which the artist acquired one scene after another through the process of reflection, summary, and destruction, and by savoring the fun of creative work. There are more than sixty pigeons and over a dozen crows made into bronze statues. Ube City Library displays four of such pigeons, created in different times with different manners. They offer readers a moment of quiet respite from the stressful use of eyes. “Shifting mass within the nature, milling around masses” – viewers become gradually aware of the differences in the four birds. |
