I'm in Okayama to participate a kind of AIR(Artist in Residence) program. we have an exhibition named "roots 'n routes" in the end of this AIR and now it's running.

I send my works to here, OKAYAMA. These my works were not colored. So I had to color on these. I tried new way to color, find new things about coloring and used new stuff! That was exciting!

During coloring-work, I did it at outside and covered the floor with plastic seat. Because my indoor working space was so clean so I thought I couldn't make any stain..haha. I used inside but just for water based color and some other easy works, and..of course.. covered the floor with plastic seat, too.

On the way of coloring work, I thought that it will become better to mix something new stuff. And I remember TATAMI. TATAMI is a kind of stuff for the floor of the Japanese style house. It's made with a kind of plants that have good smell. I went to TATAMI shop near my residence and tried to get the surface of TATAMI. I was lucky. The old craftsman gave me some TATAMI which they don't use. (A lot of people help me and help to hold this show, Thank you for everyone!) I combined TATAMI surface and basement shape with very very! strong adhesive. I feel everybody enjoys this exhibition! Thank you!
