私にとっての土の魅力は、柔らかくて優しい触覚、そして自由に形を変化させるところにあります。ですから、手と土が触れていることを大切にし、電動ろくろや手捻りの技法を用い、焼成後も土の柔らかさと自由な動きを感じられることにこだわった作品を作り続けてきました。その代表的な作品に”onomatopoeia”というシリーズがあります。それぞれが独自の音を発しているような印象から擬音語=onomatopoeiaと名付けました。ひとつひとつ隣り合うもの同士が支え合ったり、引っ張りあったり、まるで人間社会のように見えてくる作品。
シンプルなプレートやカップに”onomatopoeia”が寄生してするようにくっついたり、離れたり、テーブルウエアでもあり、絵画のように壁にかけたり、花を生けたり、使う人のインスピレーション次第で器の用途は広がります。

I find it attractive of clay that soft and gentle sense of touch, and can be freely change the shape. Therefore,It is important that the hands and soil are in contact, and I have continued to create works that use electric potter's wheel and hand-twisting techniques, and are particular about the softness and free movement of the clay even after firing. One of the representative works is the series “onomatopoeia”. It’s makes a very thin shape by electric potter's wheel after give vibration , and leave it to gravity to retain the soft shape that naturally deforms .From the impression that each one emits its own sound, I’m calling it “onomatopoeia”. It seems that is looks like a human society, where things next to each other support and pull each other. This series”onomatopoeia” has various developments. Simple plates and cups can be attached and separated as if parasitic on "onomatopoeia", tableware, hanging on the wall like a painting, arranging flowers, etc. Depending on the inspiration of the user, the use of the bowl.
