The theme I work with is “documenting memories” through text in the print medium, including mainly newspapers and magazines.
I believe the things which exist in this world are imbued with the era in which those things existed, history, and the memories of people.
By materializing these “memories” based on recordings and materials of the time, it is possible to supplement dormant memories as “recordings.”
I feel there is meaning for society in giving form to these phenomena through what we call art, which is to say, the creating of a form through a method of expression that contains some sort of meaning or message.
And I incorporate that in my work. I also believe that using materials and documentation from the era of the subject matter is an extremely important element to my creation process, and I thusly use them in creating art.
