脆さ、壊れやすさといったガラスの性質が、一方で儚さ、繊細さ、美しさ、
というその特性をも形作っていること。それらを受け入れ、またガラスが持つ
道理に委ねることで成されたかたちは、弱いからこそ持ち得る強い印象を
そこはかとなく宿してる。
素材が表現するもの、それに気づくことで立ち現れる気配。
観ることで無意識に想起されている経験や記憶が作り出している心象。
周りにあるようで実は内側にあるもの。
ガラスという素材、そしてガラスに私自身が関わることで知ること、
それらを手掛かりに制作を続けている。

The fragility and breakability that are basic qualities of glass are also what give it
its special characteristics of ephemerality, delicateness and beauty.
It is the very weakness of the shapes that form by accepting these characteristics
and trusting in the truth of the glass that lends them intimations of strength.
There are things that the material expresses, and signs that manifest with the recognition of that.
Mental images that are generated by experiences and memories recollected unconsciously
as a result of seeing. What seems to be around one, but is actually inside.
The things I know from the material of glass, and from my involvement with it,
are the clues with which I continue to create.
