Yumiko Kaneshiro decided to use pottery, textile, and dyes on a daily basis due to the influence of the architect's father. The significance of making ceramics in the land of Okinawa, Okinawa, such as being personality, is worried about thinking about it, and while spending days working hard, a solo exhibition at the age of 32, "I have a sharp image. I have a feeling of Okinawa that I feel like Okinawa, saying, "Okinawa's line." I thought. "
If you visit Kinjo's solo exhibition, you can do it for various works. Monotone works, astringent flavored works, glowing works, plants with motifs, colorful works, etc. Where does the atmosphere of Okinawa be created by such a work come from?
First, there is a rich color that reflects the scene of Okinawa. The reason for making a colorful work dates back to the fact that a friend who is a school teacher asks him to take pottery classes. At that time, the bright colors would be more pleased with the bright colors than the cool glaze that I usually used, so I prepared pink and yellow, but the work that was accidentally completed was very fresh, and the current colorful painting. I am connected to the work.
The elements that reflect the scenes of Okinawa are not just coloring. The flowers and wildflowers in the garden are used as specific motifs. "Sagari Bana", which blooms at night and is called a phantom flower that is scattered in the morning, is one of my favorite flowers, and appears on painting patterns as a summer tradition in Okinawa. In addition, it is a work, such as "coral blue", which contains the desire to convey the beautiful sea of Okinawa, where the line, thickness is raised, and "Natsukage", which expresses the shadow of summer and shadows in the summer. Is packed with many Okinawan sensitivity.
When asked about what is inspired in the work production, "Is it a anti -bone spirit that you have for yourself, a punk spillit (laughs). There is a feeling that the brain rotates full. In addition, the desire to surprise and please people, and I want to be surprised by myself is the ignition point of manufacturing. We also value the depression, worries, and stagnant time. This is because it feels like a new wave and wind coming. "He said.
When we talked about a new production that combines coral blue and plan, the words of "I'll try it!" Why do not you touch the work that your strong thoughts and challenges create with your own sensitivity?
