Art work "A Remembrance of the Time, Place in Sakai
Field work

 

I made a piece of paper and put it in this place each day.
For 24 hours, I waited for the nature to do something on the paper purely by chance.
I repeated the same practice 60 times, that is, I spent 60 sheets of paper and 60days.
One day in March, Yellow sand brought by strong wind from China covered the surface of the paper. One day in April, Quiet rain spotted and marked the surface of the paper.
One day in May, A cat wandering around here left its footmarks on the paper.
I am thinking of recording variety of daily events the nature causes in ordinary places.
