[Art Statement] Invisible space between objects or conversations and the flow of time are my interests for both architecture jobs and artist expression. Even though the medium has been changing for my art, I have kept these themes. To design house was my childhood dream. I always draw a floor plan after I back from somebody’s house. It was fun to me instead of drawing dolls or flowers as other girls. It’s a 2-D expression with B&W pencil lines on paper, however, I can imagine the rooms and colors all over the drawing. Also I played making my own tiny house using Japanese folding mattress. It has just simple 3 walls. Such minimal room creation of my childhood towards my recent art works ‘Architecture Project’ and embroidery ‘Book Project’. If we have 6 plates, it would be fine. Half of 6 are still fine to be. Even 2 or 1 would be ok. However, a lot of people does not have even 1. For painting and resin covered sculpture art works are all about color reaction of each. Very straight art expression I try to do.
