Text　　Chiba Naomi

I suddenly remembered things that I had forgotten as I grew older. These are important things that I felt or believed in as a child, feelings that accompany various memories, and sensations that are too trivial to be written down and are easily forgotten. I create my work in order to give form to these things.

I also feel that the feelings and sensations I feel are not unique to me, even though they are very personal. I feel as if they are contagious, or being contagious, as if they are floating in the air within the framework of the times.

I work with various materials such as acrylic, watercolor, sumi ink, three-dimensional, and ceramics. Whether two-dimensional or three-dimensional, I create my works in the method of installation, which is based on the relationship with the surrounding space and people, rather than with the object as a work of art.
