紀平佳丈木工展
2022年6月4日（土）-12日（日）
紀平さんの仕事にはいつも優しい「ゆらぎ」を感じる。
掌で一つ一つを撫でるように、
木目に合わせて鑿やカンナがゆっくりと
その複雑な表情を磨き出していく。
同じ木目には二度と出会わない、
その唯一に寄りそう気持ちが作品に表れている。
紀平さんの「杉」とも重なってみえる。
一見すると単純に並ぶ木目もあれば、
はっと胸を掴まれるような複雑な杢。
そのどちらにも「ゆらぎ」の魅力が溢れている。
Yoshitake Kihira Woodworking Exhibition
June 4, 2022 (Saturday) — June 12, 2022 (Sunday)
Yoshitake’s work always has a gentle “undulating” feel to it. As if he were caressing each piece with his palm, the chisel and the planer slowly polishing the intricate expressions of the wood along its natural grain.
One never encounters the same grain twice. Yoshitake’s work harnesses the feeling of being close to each piece of wood in all its uniqueness. The artist’s approach to “sugi” (Japanese cedar), to which he is especially drawn, is rooted in a similar sense of intimacy.
At first glance, some of the grain lines appear simple and others more complex and arresting. Yet all of them draw us in with their captivating “undulations.”
