錆アート制作のインスピレーション

自然をテーマに作り始めたので、
自然の中から一番インスピレーションは頂きますね。

庭いじりがすごく好きで。
木を剪定したり、植物を植え替えたりしていく中で、自然の造形が変わっていく姿を見ながら、その現象を鉄に置き換えたり。

例えば、つるつるの鉄板を酸化させ始めた時から、どうやって酸化が広がっていくのかっていう現象がどこか、
木が育つ、根が張る
そういう感覚に似たような感じで、広がっていくことをシンクロさせたりして。

そういうところからインスプレーションを一番強くいただいてます。

As for inspiration, since I started creating on the theme of nature, I get the most inspiration from nature. Also, I like working in the garden. So while im working in the garden, pruning trees and replanting plants, and as I watch nature's form change I try to recreate that experience when I create my iron works, for example, when I start oxidizing a smooth iron sheet, When I see how the iron sheet is spreading, I am inspired by the way the iron sheet spreads in a similar way as a tree grows and its roots spread. The inspiration for rust art originally came from my prior work in college, where I used a variety of materials to create works of art.

It was on this theme that I started to create my work. The original form of iron is iron oxide, which is rusted, and the reason I originally started making artworks was to create a cycle of returning iron to nature by oxidizing it so I wanted to create an image of the material returning to the forest as it oxidizes. I want to be a part of that nature, That kind of feeling, being close to nature, is very inspiring and I'd like to have that kind of time no matter how busy I am. So, with the fragrance of growing plants in the garden It's about being in contact with different plants in the house or actually going outside and looking at them. I look at how plants live in the wilderness, or in nature nearby, I look at how plants live, and from there, I imagine the changing shapes of the materials. I create my works based on my imagination.
