kohan
「kohan」は 「素材を覚醒させ、空間を豊かにする創造力」というテーマのもと、再生加工技術によりガラスをリサイクルし、主に光学ガラスの製作をされている、栃木県塩谷郡にあるe-stonetech（イーストンテック）の工房を訪れた時に生まれたアート作品です。(2020年2月）
My art work “kohan” was created with the theme of “creativity that awakens the allure of materials, and enriches spaces.” Its image was conceived when I visited the e-stonetech factory, which uses recycling and processing technologies to create objects mainly from recycled optical glass.

“工房を訪れた日はあいにくの雨模様でした。屋外の素材置き場には、たくさんの様々な形状の大きなガラスの端材が置かれ、その光景は美しく、ガラスの新たな魅力を感じる貴重な体験でした。
降り続いていた雨の雫がガラスに溜まり、そこに周囲の植物が映り込み、素材がまた違った角度で美しく見えました。その日のうちに「kohan」のイメージを固め、素材の美しさを最大限に生かせるよう極力シンプルに細部を調整しました。”
“Visiting the e-stonetech factory in Tochigi Prefecture’s Shioya district was a valuable experience. Viewing a beautiful array of multi-shaped, large glass remnants laid out in the outdoor materials storage area gave me a renewed appreciation for the appeal of glass.
As the rain continued to fall, some droplets remained on the glass, capturing the reflection of the surrounding plants and enhancing the allure of this material. It was during that day I envisioned a clear image of my new work “kohan”, which is currently on display. Creating this work was a process of fine adjustments, so I could express the appeal of glass as simply as possible and maximize the material’s inherent beauty.”
